Dear praying family,

We are in the middle of a great spiritual crisis in America. Some would say that “things have always been bad”, but present day America is critically ill, and Jesus could return at any time. This summer is a time when God’s people need to be in prayer as never before. I have been deeply challenged by a phrase out of a recent message by The Rev. Lee Crist, at his church in Holiday, Florida. Here is that quote: “If we Christians really believed in the imminent (soon return) of Jesus, it would embolden us to action.” That is my challenge to all of the camp family.

Having said the above, Luanne and I are really excited about the future of your great camp meeting. We see a renewed vision for spiritual greatness, and a desire to see holiness lived-out in every arena of life. I am renewed as your president, and have great vision of what God wants to accomplish in the days ahead. Please pray for us that we do not miss a single step with the Master.

On Sunday, July 1, we leave for Kenya, where we will lead a mission’s team of eleven people from our church. Seven of our travelers you may not know, but Dale and Sue Oyer, and Luanne and I need your prayer covering for the days ahead. We will be working at Tenwek Hospital and MOSOP orphanage. We ask for your prayer support.

The camp continues to be used. Gary, Rosa, Rhonda, and Deven hosted a large group using our facilities for their summer meetings. The meetings were a great blessing to all attending. Thanks, Gary for your leadership. Additionally, the camp facilities are in excellent shape. Most recently, our dock on Lake Isis had to be rebuilt. Steve, Rhonda, and Deven Senter rebuilt that structure. They did such a professional job that Bagwell Lumber, where we purchased supplies, sends prospective customers to look at our dock to see what can be done. Thanks Steve, Rhonda and Deven.

Luanne and I are already praying for you as you attend your summer camp meetings. We pray that God’s Spirit will have full “rights” to all attenders.

In Jesus’ sweet name,

Thank you ladies, for all of your help during Camp Meeting and in the publishing of the new camp directories.

Thank you all for making this year's "Showcase of Talent" such a success. We received $321.00 from this project for missions. Next year the Arts and Crafts sale will be held Friday, February 15, 2013, in the dining hall. If you have any questions concerning this event, contact Chairperson Betty Monzo.

Several ladies asked about publishing a new Auxiliary Cookbook, so please bring your favorite recipe and suggestions. If you will be willing to help on this project, please let me or Elaine Boring know.

God be with you until we meet again,

CAMP MEETING 2013

Mark 6:20, 25-27 Recovery Version For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed yet heard him gladly…… And coming in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter. And the king was very grieved, yet because of the oaths and those reclining at table, he did not want to refuse her. And immediately the king sent a guard and ordered him to bring his head. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison.

The Strange Preacher's Kid Herod heard John and recognized the truth in his words, but his wife (the one John said it was not right for Herod to have married) did not like John's condemnation of the situation and despised him for it. Herod failed to fully accept the word of truth and did not commit to following it. When push came to shove, Herod gave in to his wife's demand to kill the messenger. How many of us come short of full commitment to Christ and fail to stand for the truth in the face of trial? -- PAB
