Communications Team Lead Neil Bramble, a professional member, served as editor of The Canadian Gideon for the past 17 years. Neil comes from a background of teaching—high school English and history—having spent 16 years in that profession. He was a staff member of The Gideons from 1981 until his retirement in December 2008. A writer and speaker, Neil is also an Alpha advisor and leads the Alpha course in his church in Guelph, ON. “I am impressed with the spiritual depth and godly vision of The Word Guild and enthusiastically support its mission,” he says. “Canadians need to hear the message God has for them and we as Christian writers have a responsibility to communicate it. I want to be part of that.”
