Guest speaker

SALEM

Huldah Buntain will speak at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 6 at Salem Realife Church, 12824 Salem-Warren Road.

She has partnered with many ministries including Mother Teresa’s Calcutta Mission. In 1954, Huldah and her late husband, the Rev. Dr. Mark Buntain, were asked by the Missions Department to go to India as evangelists for one year. That turned into a lifetime of service in Calcutta and its 11 surrounding states. They established holistic inner-city and outreach ministries that include more than 200 schools with 32,000 children, 900 churches, Bible schools, daily street and school feeding programs for 25,000, a nursing school and Mercy Hospital.

The Buntain family founded Calcutta Mercy Ministries for international volunteers participation.
