HISTORY
The Origins of WMC
The Waldheim Missions Conference originated in 1953 from the leadership provided by Rev. Oswald J. Smith, a hymn writer and missions-promoting pastor from the People Church in Toronto.
In his letter, Herb Heppner, the first chairman, reviewed the reasons why Smith chose Waldheim as the site for the conference:
Waldheim was central to the Sask Valley area
Local churches were excited to cooperate
Individuals were willing to get involved
The cooperating churches represented several denominations
God was already at work calling local youth into overseas service
From the outset, the conference, although based in Waldheim, has been intended for the entire Sask Valley area. Since its inception, it has been the longest-running interdenominational Missions Conference in Canada, with hundreds of missionaries from the Sask Valley who have participated.
