"Cal Bombay has certainly experienced a life worth living!" (Rev. David Wells)
Most people know Cal Bombay best for his 25 years of delivering over 3,000 "Cal's Commentaries" on the popular TV100 Huntley Street program. He hosted 100 Huntley Street and was Director of Christian Multilingual Programming, serving as Vice-President of Missions where he would oversee the areas of Christian Mission Productions and several ministries. But few knew the real Cal. So, they will be thrilled to find out about his secret life. A Life Worth Living combines tales of dangerous misadventures, encounters of faith (and fear!), impressive accomplishments and moments of the truly miraculous. Cal takes you on a journey of his life. One that is dangerous, exhilarating, and full of God!
With profound humour and wisdom, Cal shares his experiences serving God for 60 years, throughout the world, overcoming every obstacle to the gospel and human limitation to bring the message of Jesus Christ to the nations. Cal's own words describe his life's resolve so perfectly, "I want people to know that God can take an ordinary person, willing to be obedient, and let Him perform miracles guided by the power of the Holy Spirit, and glorifying God alone." This is the Cal Bombay you never knew.
After four years of pastoral ministry, Cal Bombay and his wife Mary moved to Kenya, East Africa in 1962 immediately after graduation and began 17 years of ministry on the mission field. Cal became fluent in Swahili, and taught in the Bible College at Nyang'ori. Later he created and constructed Evangel Publishing House to compliment Evangel Press which grew to become the largest Christian Publishing House in Africa publishing in 43 languages and translating into another 104 languages around the world. Cal has written over 18 books, and authored dozens of pamphlets and articles. In 1979 Cal joined the staff of 100 Huntley Street as Director of Christian Multilingual Programming. He later served as Vice-President of Missions for almost 25 years overseeing the areas of Christian Mission Productions, the Geoffrey R. Conway School of Broadcasting and Communications, and was chaplain to the ministry. Cal inspired and encouraged many viewers with his daily commentaries on "100 Huntley Street". He also oversaw the missionary outreach in many parts of the world through the Emergency Response and Development Fund and the World Harvest Evangelism and Television Fund. Cal is currently President of Cal Bombay Ministries Inc., a charitable ministry to North America and throughout the world, concentrating on the newly created nation of the Republic of South Sudan. Cal and his wife Mary currently reside near Brantford, Ontario. They have two children and two grandchildren.
