Helen Marie Cambra

Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Helen Marie Cambra

With grateful hearts and deep love, our family invites you to join us in celebrating the life of our beloved wife, mom, grandmother, and friend Pastor Helen Marie (Clark) Cambra.

Helen was a woman who lived every day anchored by her faith in Jesus Christ. She loved her family fiercely. Nothing gave her greater joy than being a wife, mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Family gatherings, holidays, and everyday moments around the table were treasured times where she poured out her love, her laughter, and her wisdom. Often this involved playing favorite family board games.

Her faith compelled her to love beyond her own home. Hand in hand with Almo, her husband of 66 years, she faithfully served in ministry, both locally and around the world. Her favorite verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13), propelled her through life and shaped how she raised her children, encouraged her grandchildren, and ministered to many individuals and groups in person, through her radio broadcasts, speaking, writing and many virtual ministry events across the US and around the world.

Through her leadership with Global Mission Ministry Center, she helped to establish several Marie’s Sewing Centers (in honor of her late mother, Marie Clark) in Africa and India. Her ministries also took her throughout the world to other countries such as Russia, Japan, Pakistan and Guatemala. Pastor Helen Cambra cultivated what has become a legacy of hope and opportunity for countless people still today. For those of us who knew her best, her legacy is also in the way she prayed for, encouraged, and taught us to love Jesus with all our hearts and in all our efforts.

We would love for you to join us as we remember her life, give thanks to God for the gift she was to us, and rejoice in the eternal hope we share in Christ.
