Ray Fox

Ray Fox was an elder in the Nothbrook Bible Chapel in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada for many years and was a well known evangelist in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. He came to know the Lord in his early twenties and was encouraged by several older believers to develop his speaking gifts as well as develop a love for the gospel and the Lord's people. He took over his father's furniture moving and storage business in the mid forties, and developed it until 1961 when he sold the business and went full time into ministry. His calling was to smaller assemblies throughout Ontario where he spoke and often conducted evangelistic meetings by himself or with other brothers who shared his passion. He also did preaching in "open air&qupt;, as well as camps, and door-to-door efforts. In 1968, Ray and Helen Fox came to Nova Scotia from Ontario as self-supporting workers. Mr. Fox had sold his business and went full-time into holding open-air Gospel meetings and distributing Gospel literature.

He attended Fairview Bible Chapel in Halifax when in the area. In 1969 he was invited to speak at Northbrook. His ministry was so helpful that the Board of Trustees asked him to continue and give as much ministry as possible. He agreed, and he suggested that they begin with a series on the New Testament church and the priesthood of all believers. The Christians were in agreement with what he taught, and soon were linked with the brethren assemblies. Mr. and Mrs. Fox moved to Dartmouth in 1970, where Mr. Fox was in full-time work at Northbrook Bible Chapel until his death in 1993.
