Peter Porrovecchio and his wife moved to BC from Adelaide, Australia for work, and thru the testimony of a work associate, Jim of [[Prince George Gospel Chapel, BC]], Peter and his wife were saved, and became involved with the assembly there. They eventually relocated to 100 Mile House and hosted the first meetings of the 100 Mile House assembly in their home from 1981-1984 before returning to Adelaide, Australia where they serve in a large asssembly there. Its formation was encouraged by [[Leonard H. Laine]] who started [[Williams Lake Christian Fellowship, BC|Williams Lake Christian Fellowship]] within the same area in 1960, that met thru 1983 before he joined [http://www.wlefc.org/ Williams Lake Evangelical Free Church].
P.W. "Bill" Shatford and his wife Joyce served as correspondents in the early middle years (1967-1970) of an assembly known as Prince Rupert Gospel Chapel (1960-1976+) then from 1971-1980+ at Prince George Gospel Chapel (+1954-2020+), and co-led an assembly hive around 1982 known as Kelly Road Gospel Chapel that continues thru 2020, where he continues to serve as an elder. Bill gave encouragement to the readers of Interest on Feb. 20 of 1984 (for the May issue), "I have been visiting the little assembly at 100 Mile House (210 miles south of Prince George). It is a comparatively new work and about a dozen saints meet in homes for worship, breaking of bread and study of the Word. There is a need for a mature couple to live there and assist this group of believers".
By late 2006, according to a November issue of Uplook, the assembly had relocated to a structure on 5827 Horse Lake Road, where locally they became known as the Good News Center, inspired by ex-Hutterite assembly believers in Lethbridge, AB who had adopted a similar name.
The assembly continues to this day (2020) with about forty or so believers, not to mention a historically strong children's work. See [https://hlcf.org/ HLCF's website] for current info.
