MEET DAVE NOAKES

We asked our Dave who sings lead a few questions to help you get to know him a little better...
Q - Hometown and Family info
A - Born in Toronto and our family home of Dad, Mom, and four boys was in Scarborough.Met my wife Sheila at a little church in Ballantrae, and we have now been married for 38 years. We have two married daughters (great sons-in-laws) and three grandchildren.
Q - What would you consider your greatest gift that God has given you?
A - The greatest gift that God has given me is salvation by having faith in Jesus Christ. I sure don't deserve it, and I know I couldn't earn it, so it truly is the greatest gift.
Q - Hobbies?
A - I have always enjoyed playing various sports - from the younger years of football and baseball, to current years of golf and oldtimers hockey. I've always enjoyed music and my kids think I'm still stuck in the 60's with the music I listen to.
Q - When did you accept Jesus into your heart?
A - Our family didn't go to church when I was a child, but our aunt took me and one of my brothers to a summer Kid's Club at a church when I was 10 years old. It was there that I heard that Jesus died for me and accepted him as my saviour.
Q - Favorite Bible Verse? Do you incorporate that into your daily life and how?
A - Philippians 1:6 "being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." What a great promise to have every day!!
Q - What does singing in The Springvale Boys afford you?
A - Apart from the patience learned from putting up with Herb, singing with the Springvale boys has been a source of joy!
