Wayne Porty

Pastor, Barnabas Missions

Wayne served marginalized and at-risk people in Hamilton for 10 years before coming to WMB in 2008. He lives with his stunning wife, Sharon, and their infant son, whom we call "mini-Wayne"! Wayne loves the challenge of a strategy game such as Settlers, plays Ultimate Frisbee, and likes to spend time fishing and reading. In his role at WMB, Wayne walks alongside people who are experiencing financial difficulties in order to help facilitate movement to long-term well-being through financial assistance, connection to community resources, budget planning and prayer. He also coordinates our Christmas party and toy give-away, community kitchen, homework club and sports in the park. Wayne’s desire is to have more people from WMB involved in Barnabas initiatives so that their eyes can be opened to the struggles of many people in our cities, and so their faith and lives can be enriched through these interactions - just as his life is being transformed by them.
