Lorn Bergstresser is a successful grain farmer who has been involved with public education for many years. His involvement on the Providence Board of Governors is highly valued. A chat with Vice-Chair of Providence's Board of Governors, Lorn Bergstresser , leaves you inspired by his life philosophy. It seems Lorn is always looking for an opportunity to share God's love, whether it be at the basketball ministry he is involved in weekly, or with the student he meets in the stairwell at Providence.
Every relationship is viewed as a ministry - another opportunity to encourage and edify others.
Lorn has been on Providence's Board since the fall of 1995, and he became Vice-Chair in November, 1999. He was also Chair of the Student Development Committee and now Chairs the Liaison Committee. It was his concern for the intellectual education and spiritual formation of young people that propelled him to become involved as School Trustee in the Morris-Macdonald School Division back in 1985. Serving on the Education committee for ten years, he had the opportunity to work with many students within the community. Lorn has also sat on the Provincial Executive of the Trustee Association, serving as Director for two years, followed by three years in the presidential cycle with the Manitoba Association of School Trustees.
