MEET THE WADDELLS

Michael and Melanie Waddell are Global Field Staff with Canadian Baptist Ministries, appointed in August 2015 to serve in the Philippines.  Along with their four children- Kyla, Sean, Carter and Allie- they live in Roxas City, Capiz on the island of Panay.

Michael and Melanie serve alongside CBM colleagues and partners in the area of Marketplace Ministry. The Waddells are assisting in the formation of Christian discipleship movements within the context of the marketplace.  The Waddells also work along side our Filipino partners who are working with the poor and marginalized in various facets of Integral Mission through capacity building that models humility, love, compassion and integrity.

Michael is currently completing his Master of Arts in Theology at Acadia Divinity College. Melanie has a Master’s Degree in Counselling from Acadia University and has experience working in various counselling settings. The Waddells spent 14 years in the business world, as well as 5 years serving as Directors of a Baptist owned Christian camp in New Brunswick, before sensing that God was leading them to something new.

Currently on home assignment here in Canada, the Waddells will spend most of their time here in the Eastern provinces, visiting various churches & sharing their stories and updates until they return to the Philippines in September.
