2006-01-11 - Walter McNaughton of Grande Prairie
Walter William McNaughton was born south of Carstairs, Alberta on April 3, 1910, and grew up on the family farm, the second youngest of six children. Always inventive, he put little windmills up on all the farm buildings and crafted model haystackers. He attended the Greenwood school and Carstairs high school, finishing with grade 12 in Didsbury. He then taught school privately for a year and a half.
Walter always considered that the most significant event in his life happened when, as a boy of 13, he received Christ as his Saviour at special meetings in Calgary.
While tinkering with his homemade, Dutch-Cleanser-box crystal radio set he tuned in to William Aberhart’s Sunday afternoon Bible broadcast, which became a regular source of training and encouragement in his Christian life during his teen years. From 1930 to 1933 he was a student at Prairie Bible Institute, in Three Hills, and did rural missionary work in various areas such as Vermilion, Viking, Carstairs, and in southern Alberta.
After receiving a request for someone to come to the Berwyn area to start a Bible school, Walter rode his bicycle most of the way from Vermilion in the fall of 1933. Winter studies with two other men around a dining room table in a farmhouse south of Whitelaw constituted the beginnings of the Peace River Bible Institute, which moved the next year to Grande Prairie and in 1935 to its present location at Sexsmith. Although Walter was committed to Christian education, his passion was evangelism. He often left the school responsibilities to others and traveled about the Peace Country, visiting, holding meetings, organizing camps, and making arrangements for Bible school students to do missionary work. He also led the way for PRBI to broadcast over CFGP during its first week on the air in 1937.
In 1939 Walter married Beth Howes, whom he had met during PBI days and who had joined the staff at PRBI. In 1948 they and their four children moved to Vernon, B.C., where Walter taught Bible School courses, did radio ministry, and founded the Okanagan Missionary Conference. In 1952, being involved in the Christ for Everyone Campaign they moved to Three Hills, where Walter continued in active personal work and also established an electrical contracting business.
From 1961 to 1967 he returned to leadership at PRBI in Sexsmith, and then decided to go to university, obtaining a B. Ed. from the U of Alberta and an M. Ed from the University of Oregon. He taught school for three years at the Peter Pond School in Fort McMurray. After a short stint back in Edmonton he finally “retired” to Millet, Beth’s hometown. There he continued very active in wiring especially for church groups, in supporting various ministries, and in working on his evangelistic “charts.” Even after they moved to Grande Prairie in 1998, this life-long interest in presenting the gospel occupied his attention right up until the end, and has culminated in his soon-to-be-published Obtaining Salvation.
Walter went to be with the Lord after a short illness on January 11, exactly nine months after his beloved Beth’s home-going. He was predeceased by his wife of 66 years, Beth, his son Malcolm, and all of his own family. He is survived by his daughter-in-law Sheila McNaughton; children: Evangeline (Cornelius) Thiessen, Ruth (John) Enns, David (Joyce) McNaughton; and grandchildren: Cori Beth, Lena Ruth, and Malcolm Thiessen, Wanda (Chad) Farr, Rachel (Mark) Thiesen, Philip (Cheila) Enns, Janet (Wade) Greentree, Treasa (Mark) Breen, Andrew (Dara) Enns, Devin (Sheila) McNaughton, and Elden (Wendy) McNaughton; and 20 great-grandchildren.
