[edit] History
Mr. and Mrs. Norman Kion of Ontario were missionaries in the West Indies before they moved to Campbellton on the northern edge of New Brunswick in the 1940s. An assembly in Campbellton was going on in the 1940s and 1950s, which was in fellowship with the English assemblies on the Gaspé coast of Quebec, the nearest assemblies to them.
In 1949, Mr. Kion started a radio program called ‘Echoes of Grace’ that reached out 300 miles around Campbellton. Over a period of time the program was broadcast on many other stations, starting with Quito, Equador and then to many other countries.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Chard lived in Campbellton at that time and helped in the Gospel work. Alice (Johnson) Harvie was a school teacher there and helped Mr. Kion prepare the radio messages. A small assembly occupies the Campbellton Gospel Hall, NB today.
