Do we have a reason to celebrate?
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD SPOKE CLEARLYTO THE ISRAELITES BY INSTRUCTING THEM TO
CELEBRATE. WHY? So they would not simply carry
on with daily life, but would purposely pause, ref lect
on Gods hand in their lives, rejoice, and be merry!
Jesus also used the act of celebrating in His parable
of the prodigal son.
Do we have reason to celebrate? Is it right for us to
celebrate? Would God approve of our celebration?
Yes, yes, andyes!
As a mission, we pause to celebrate the completion of this summers campseason. We have prayed, we have given, we have organized and planned, we
have wondered, doubted, worried, and then prayed again and again. Looking
back on the 2015 summer camp season, we rejoice how God used One Hope
Canadas camps and ministries to present the Gospel to thousands of children.
Hundreds committed their lives to Jesus.
Do we have a reason to celebrate? I say, Yes!
ABOUT THE CHAIRMAN
Ferdi has been serving on the National Board since 1995 and became the Chair in 2000.
As a young adult, he volunteered at a children's camp, and that is where he heard the
message of salvation for the rst time. He believes that ministry to children is possibly
the most important Christian ministry: c hildren need to hear about God.

FIELD DIRECTOR EDITORIALBY WAYNE EISBRENNER, MANITOBA FIELD DIRECTOR
Give praise
to the LordMAKE KNOWN WHAT HE HAS DONE
The theme of this edition is celebration and
according to the dictionary, this means to
observe or commemorate with ceremonies or
festivals; to make known publicly, proclaim,
to praise widely or to present widespread and
favorable public notice.
As I considered this editorial, my mind kept
going to the Don Moen chorus I learned many
years ago: I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord,
I will sing to Him a new song!, because we
do have so much to celebrate. We witnessed
3,700 children and youth come to camp, many
of these for the very first time. About a third
of those have no regular exposure to any
type of an evangelical Christian church. So,
we continue to stay true to our mission of
proclaiming the Gospel to those with the least
opportunity to hear of Christ.
As you read and interact with the stories
that follow, keep in mind the words of the
prophet Isaiah, who wrote in 12:4: In that
day you will say: Give praise to the
Lord, proclaim His name; make known
among the nations what He has done, and
proclaim that His name is exalted.
We celebrate what God has and is doing to His
honour and His glory.
CELEBRATE WHAT GOD HAS AND IS DOING
We do have so much to celebrate!"

Some days, I tried to make supper
and in the middle of stirring the
creamed corn, would get distracted.
Dad sometimes got burned corn and
potatoes, but he never complained.
He just appreciated my trying.
While losing Mom was hard, and
though I didnt have siblings, I wasblessed with an absolutely wonderful
father. He was so kind and I knew he
would always keep me safe. I knew
he needed a wife and I needed a
mother, so I simply asked God to
send us someone.
A year after Mom died, I was
invited by friends to Gimli Bible
Camp. It was my frst time at camp;
I was so excited to travel by bus with
friends! As we tumbled out of the
bus, we were greeted by a lady with
a sweet smile. She reminded me of
my mother and I was immediately
attracted to her. I discovered this
pretty woman wasnt married, and
my ten-year-old heart was thrilled!
I followed her around all week, and
didnt leave camp before taking herpicture and getting her address.
At home, I waited for the r ight
moment. One night after supper I
showed Dad the picture and told
him, Dad, this is the lady I want for
my new mom. Here is her address.
Now you write to her. Being the
shy man he was (it took years to get
up the courage to ask Mom to marry
him), he responded with a decided,
No Faye, I cant do that. >page 12
W
hen I was nine, my mother, Gretta, died and every-
thing was different without her. Our house seemed so
empty at times. I was the only kid I knew who wore a keyaround her neckeveryone else had a mom to welcome
them home after school. I let myself into the empty house and waited
for more than an hour before Dad came home from work.

God useslittle moments
to do big things
I realized God was asking me to takemy family and spend the summer as campnurse. To tell you the truth, I was afraid!in that moment: I am going to do
something amazing! Not realizing
how amazing it would be, God
brought my daughter into His
family as a result of the time we
spent at camp.
The staff were wonderful
at camp; one staff member in
particular took the time to let
Ellianna tell him stories and he
wrote down what she told him.
God used this little exercise, which
she has come to love, to enable my
daughter to express the love thathad been growing in her heart for
Him. After creating a story about
dinosaurs with this head cabin
leader, she then used storytelling
to tell me about Princess Ellianna,
who let go of her anger because
Jesus died on the cross for her and
rose again! Precious words that I
was not expecting to come out of
her mouth in the moments I spent
with her after lunch one Friday.
She was so excited to tell God she
loved Him. In fact she repeated this
confession numerous times as she
expressed in her own words how
thankful she was for Jesus and
what He did for her.
This event made my whole
summer worthwhile, because the
soul of my child is of utmost value

A moment. Thats how it all
began. A moment of saying yes to
serve at Dauphin Bible Camp for the
summer; a moment of saying yes
to spending ten minutes with my
daughter, Ellianna. To tell you the
truth, I was afraid! I realized God
was asking me to take my family
and spend the entire summer as
camp nurse. However, a true feeling
of peace came over me when these
words were spoken into my soul

A true feeling of peace came over
me when these words were spoken
into my soul in that moment: I amgoing to do something amazing!
to me and our Heavenly Father.
God used these moments and a kind
young man this summer to bring
my four-year-old daughter into
relationship with Him. I believe
these moments were possible and
happened in the time they did
because of the opportunity mydaughter had to be a camp kid this
summer. I thank God daily for the
way He used the staff at Dauphin
Bible Camp to bring about this
commitment from my daughter!

Why did God leave us one account
after another of wounded lives being
restored? Did He orchestrate this
so we could be grateful for the past
or so that we could look back with
amazement at what Jesus did?
My belief is that isnt the reason at
all. The purpose of these stories isnt
to tell us what Jesus did but to tell
Have you ever asked yourself
why that is the case? Why are
the Gospels full of such seemingly
hopeless people? While the
situations may vary, their conditions
dont they are trapped, rejected,
estranged, with no place to turn.
Often the only words on their lips is
a desperate prayer.
One cannot read the Gospel accounts without quicklyrealizing that we find in the pages one story after another of Godmeeting people where they hurt. And it is into that hurt that
Jesus, God with us, enters into those loves with simple actions.
Sometimes a word of grace and mercy, sometimes a touch of
kindness, fulfilling the prophecy, The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He
has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of
sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of
the Lords favor.

Our Mission has been able to speak the truth and demonstratethe unconditional love of Jesus. We celebrate the amazingchanges that are evident as young lives come to know Jesus.us what Jesus does, so that we can
together with the Lord, celebrate the
hope that we have in Christ.
These stories are historic moments
when a real God met real pain, so
that we can answer the question that
so many are asking today, where
is God when I hurt? And today
as perhaps never before, there is a
sense of hopelessness in our children
and youth. This past summer our
ministry points encountered many
children and youth who have
bought into the lie of the evil one
that there is no hope. We have
children whose thoughts are being
led to self-mutilation, self-harm even
to the point of suicide.
For the past eighty-eight years,
our Mission has been able to
speak the truth and demonstrate
the unconditional love of Jesus
particularly to children and youth
and we continue to do so in these
days. And while we are at times
overwhelmed with the issues that
we see in these young lives, we are
also privileged to celebrate with
the Lord and the angels in the
amazing changes that are evident
as young lives come to know
Jesus in a personal way. It has
been my privilege to witness first
hand changed lives and can bear
testimony to the fact that we have a
God who is our hope and who cares
about us inf initely more than we can
fathom.
Great is the Lord and most worthy
of praise; His greatness no one can
fathom. One generation commends
your works to another; they tell of
your mighty acts. They speak
of the glorious splendor of your
majesty and I will meditate on
your wonderful works. They tell of
the power of your awesome works
and I will proclaim your great
deeds. They celebrate your abundant
goodness and joyfully sing of your
righteousness. Psalm 145:3-7

major meltdown. The first year
I heard some yelling, noticed he
was emotionally out of control and
escalating, and that his cabin leader
did not know what to do.
I held him tight until he could
calm down--he tried to scratch and
bite me as he poured out his hatred.
The next year, during our
overnight tenting at Camp Morton,
I noticed him chasing a boy with a
club, with murder in his eyes. I held
him again for about ten minuteswhile he fought viciously. As he got
a bit under control he complained,
The mosquitoes are eating me! I

He made a square with his hands.

and he replied, A window. I am in

like outside. My heart broke. He had
perfectly explained what his life was like.

The third year his cabin leader,
the best I could give him, dragged
the angry child to me saying, He
attacked another boy. I dont know
what else to do. We let him go
and Mikey ran to the trampoline,
with me following. We bounced
a bit. I lay on the side and quietly
watched a lot. Every ten minutes
or so, over the next hour-and-a-
half I stopped him and we talked.
Towards the end, when he was
ready to apologize and rejoin his
group, he stopped bouncing and
went over to the trampoline netting
and made a square with his hands.
Strange. I asked him, What was
that? and he replied, A window. I
am in prison and I am trying to see
what it is like outside. My heart
broke. He had perfectly explained
what his life was like and, at that
moment I would have immediately
and gladly given my life that hiscould be better. But it doesnt work
that way. And the next month,
the postcard that we sent to him
to encourage him, came back. He
had moved and I couldnt discover
where to. That was three years ago.
On my computer in my office
the background pictures are of kids
that have affected me in some way.
And when their picture comes up, I
pray for them. I had been praying
for Mikey, 30 seconds at a time, for
three years but now he was 13 and,
excited as I was that we would
have the chance to minister to him
again, I was concerned about what
kind of behaviour we would have
to handle from this, much larger,
angry young man.
God knows what He is doing.
Mike sucked up the attention we
gave him, and four days later wasable to understand and accept
Christ s offer to free him from his
prison. I couldnt give my life for
Mike, but Christ did. That is worth
cheering about!

I hounded him for days.
Sometimes, I would walk
past his bedroom and see
him on his knees by his
bedside. I hoped he was
praying for the courage to
write that letter.
Finally, he agreed to write,
but he cautioned me, Faye, this
doesnt mean she will want to
have anything to do with us. I
understood that, but couldnt wait to
see if shed respond. Every day I ran
home from school and checked the
mailbox, and every dayno letter.
Weeks passed, but I didnt give up
hope. One afternoon I opened the
mailbox and my heart leapt. There
it was, a pink envelope. The longest
hour and a half of my life was spent
waiting for Dad to get home!
The pretty woman from Gimli
Bible Camp, Irene Adams, agreed
to meet Dad. She also agreed to be
his wife, an answer to my prayers.
I didget my new mother and Igot
to choose her! I distinctly remember
one incident where my new mom
and I were disagreeing about
something and when I complained
to Dad, he put down the newspaper,
looked me right in the eye and said,
Faye, you picked her, you work it
out! What could I say?
My prayers were answered in
such a beautiful way, yet recently I
realized there was more to this story
than even Ihad thought.
Several years ago I was looking
through some of my second moms
keepsakes and came across a real
treasure, a certicate given to her
many years before. It simply read,
This is to certify that Irene Adams
has attended Summer Bible School
conducted at Thunder Creek School.
It was dated July 26, 1934, when she
was eleven.
On the certicate I recognized
another name, the signature of the
Bible School teacher, Miss Gretta
McIntyre. My second mom had told
me that the rst time she heard the
Gospel was from Gretta, a twenty-
nine-year-old CSSM missionary,
who spent her summers travelingto different communities playing
her harpsichord, singing songs,
and telling children about Jesus. I
recognized Grettas name, because
twelve years after the certicate had
been issued, Gretta McIntyre married
my dad and, two years later, at age
forty-three, gave birth to me.
God, in His faithfulness, had
woven together the answer to my
prayeryearsbefore I was born! When
Dad wrote that rst letter to Irene,
he didnt know his rst wife, Gretta,
had introduced Irene to Jesus and,
although Irene had never met Dad
personally, she knew that Gretta
would have married a good man, so
she felt led to respond to his letter.
And, as Paul Harvey always said,
Now you know the rest of the story.

breath in, and then it happens.
Slowness approaches and through
the fogginess of sleep deprivation a
precious moment is born in which
we undoubtedly see God moving.
Celebration is ultimately the
driving force behind what we do.
Knowing that God can and does
work in the hearts of the broken and
battered. The outbursts at campfires
of broken homes and embittered
families, the loss of self-worth in
an ever progressing self-centered
world, and in the moments when
screaming is all that seems left to do.
These are some of those hard
moments but, celebration is also
found in the profound moments of
understanding, the moments when
child-like faith shines through an
unsuspecting crowd, and in the
stillness of a clear star-filled night.
Celebration really boils down to
the joy of the Lord, the revealing of
His plan, and the work of His people.
Lamentation 3:22-23 says, The
Lords lovingkindnesses indeed
never cease, For His compassions
never fail. They are new every
morning; Great is Your faithfulness
(NASB).
Gods faithfulness in itself issomething worth celebrating. This
past year we celebrated our 25th
anniversary and I challenge you to
reflect on the faithfulness of God in
your life and celebrate His goodness.

Relentless commitment,

mean the kingdom of God is a
party. The words of Tim Neufeld
echo throughout this summer
again and again. The very idea of
celebration can easily be swept
away by overloaded schedules and
seemingly outlandish expectations,
but this is camp after all, and the
one thing that brings it about face is
the very real fact of celebration.

This summer One Hope Canada
received over 7,000 Manga books
from the Bible League of Canada to
distribute to thousands of campers
at 23 camp locations, stretching
from Pender Island, BC, to Hampton,
NB. What a gift!
Over half the children and youth
who attend our camps come fromhomes with no Christian inf luence.
These Manga books are an effective
way of telling them who Gods Son
is, and what Jesus did for them.
We are deeply grateful for the
ministry of the Bible League of
Canada, as we could not have
covered the cost.
Response from the frontlines
has been encouraging:
The Manga books are awesome!We used them during cabin
devotions. It was exciting to see the
campers, and especially the boys
who have a hard time sitting still,
make the connection between the
story we read in their Manga book
and the same story in the Bible.

E INVITE YOU TO EAVESDROP
IN A CONVERSATION BETWEEN
CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BILL
McCASKELL AND ALBERTA FIELD
DIRECTOR CLIFF PEDERSEN ASTHEY DISCUSS THE NEW VISION
FOR CHURCH AND COMMUNITY MINISTRY
WITHIN ONE HOPE CANADA.
You are a new face to many of our readers
outside of Alberta. Tell us a bit about your
connection with One Hope Canada.
From age 10 to the present, One Hope Canada has
signicantly impacted my life. The rst prayer I saw
answered was prayed by my school bus driver, a
One Hope Canada (formerly CSSM) pastor. The rstchurch I attended as a new believer in my teens
was a One Hope Canada church. After Bible college,
the rst church I pastored was with the Mission.
My wife, Gloria, grew up in a One Hope Canada
church, attended Camp Silversides many summers,
and taught VBS with the Mission two summers.
Fourteen years ago, the Lord called us to rejoin
the Mission as Alberta Field Director.
Tell us about the Missions history of sending
community missionaries and how that led to many
churches being planted across the country.
Over 140 churches grew out of the faithful ministry
of community missionaries who had a passion to take
the Gospel into Canadas remotest corners. Some rode
horses, others bicycled, and some had vehicles. T hey
taught the Bible in schools and promised children a
free week at camp for memorizing 500 Bible verses.
Many met the challenge, camps were started, and
out of these ministries grew Sunday schools, which
frequently developed into churches.
What has happened to those churches?
Many churches joined denominations, went
independent, or closed their doors when community
demographics changed.
There have been some encouraging developments
in One Hope Canada regarding our church and
community ministries. Bring us up to speed.
God used Canada Revenue Agency to trigger an initial
review. The National Board wanted to determine rural
church ministry needs and discern what and how to

AGC would appreciate our assistance in helping small
town pastors raise support, so they wouldnt need a
second job. The more we researched, the more evident
it became that we could help each other be more
effective at building Gods kingdom.
What does the partnership mean for One HopeCanadas existing church ministries?
Over the next year or two, One Hope Canada churches
can determine which umbrella they best ft under.
Our more established churches will slide under the
AGC banner if they can fully support their pastor.
When a pastor needs or chooses to be bi-vocational,
he can be accredited with AGC. This will see our
churches and missionaries evaluating what works
best in their community. We, of course, will continue
to fellowship together at annual conferences and will
add AGC pastors to our conference registrations whenthey need to come under our banner to raise support.
What is your hope and prayer for the future?
Once we work through the next year or two of
transition, I sincerely long to see the Gospel going
into rural/small town settings all across Canada
through community missionaries. I sincerely long to
see churches birthed. We have the tools through the
AGC and the means through One Hope Canada. Christ
stated He would build His Church a nd it shouldnt
matter how He chooses to do it, as long as souls are
saved, lives are changed, and Christ is glorifed.

effectively and sustainably meet them.
We even asked: are we doing something another
group is doing? Is church ministry needed?
Then we discovered that CRA does not allow us to have
bi-vocational missionaries, because we are what theycall a religious order. That creates a signifcant problem
for many pastors who need to supplement their income
or work in their communities to develop relationships
for sharing the Gospel.
At the heart of the new vision is a partnership
with the Associated Gospel Churches. Explain the
partnership and why it is so important.
Over the past year, much research was done to
determine if there was another non-denominational,
Gospel-centered ministry seeking to plant and sustain
churches in small towns or rural settings.
AGC is thoroughly evangelical, has more than 150
churches, congregations, and ministries across
Canada, is non-denominational, and has no missions
programs or camps. Because CRA does not see them
as a religious order, their pastors are f ree to be bi-
vocational. AGC works in out-of-the-way communities
and has developed resources to assist churches and
small town pastors to be ef fective. We learned that
Then we discovered that

by Wayne Eisbrenner, Manitoba Field Director
of the thirty-eight board members
who serve our ve Manitoba camps.
Allow me to introduce you to two
of these individuals.
Dennis Zilinskiis on the board
of our Roseau River Bible Camp
(RRBC) and has been involved at
camp for many, many years. Dennis
has served as a board member for 22
out of the 25 years the camp has been
operational. Joshua Scorgie pastors
the Baptist Church in Erickson and
recently joined us on the board of
Dauphin Bible Camp (DBC).
This past summer our camp
ministries, which employ seventeen
full-time year-round front-line
missionaries, were assisted by over
856 volunteers and summer staff.
In a time when we are told that
volunteerism is dying, we celebrate
the individuals who take time out
of full and busy schedules and give
many hours of dedicated service so
that children and youth can hear
and learn and experience the love
of Jesus rsthand.
Key to our ministry is the work
One of the pictures that our Executive Director couplecontinue to put before us is that of the Red River Cart. The point
is to emphasize that locomotion for the cart is dependent on
both wheels. In a similar fashion, the mission of One Hope
Canada can only be fullled when both the corporate wheel
(Ministry Resource Centre and Front-line missionaries) and
grassroots wheel (Board members, volunteers) work together.
Working Together
What motivated you to become
a board member of a One Hope
Canada camp?
DENNIS: Initially I was asked to
be involved on the board by the
Gift Discernment Committee and
I wanted to serve somewhere at
RRBC. My initial involvement
was as a counselor and I loved
it, so because of my loyalty and
commitment to camp, Im still
involved.
JOSHUA: I was impacted as a
young Christian going to Galilean
Bible Camp in Ontario, which is
a One Hope Canada ministry. It
gave me an opportunity to serve
as a young Christian leader, and
the opportunity now to serve on
the board of Dauphin Bible Camp
is allowing me to be a part of
impacting others for Christ.

What makes the mission of the
camp you serve and One HopeCanada meaningful to you?
DENNIS: Camp ministry is so
worthwhile. I grew up Catholic and
knew nothing about camp. Over the
years Ive seen the reality that camp
matters, the Gospel is preached and
young lives are being changed. Its
also very a ffordable.
JOSHUA: I am excited about the
leadership of the camp and seeing
the difference the ministry ofDBC is making in the lives at my
church children, youth and adult
volunteers. I see that God is at work,
lives are being impacted and thats
being evidenced in my ministry
here in Erickson.
What appeals to you about your
board service as a volunteer
activity?
DENNIS: The camaraderie of
working with other Christians. This
is something that I can do and be a
part of something that really matters.
I also have the satisfaction of being a
resource to younger people.
JOSHUA:In vocational ministry
(as a pastor), its easy at times to
get focused on my little part of the
world and my ministry. Being
involved on the board of DBC allows
me to gain rsthand a broader
Christian perspectivelike going
from a microscopic view of ministry
to a more binocular view.
What has been one thing that
has caused you to celebrate your
involvement as a board member of
your One Hope Canada camp?
DENNIS: Seeing kids come to k now
Jesus. Because of my involvement
over the many years, Ive come
to see this as my camp its a part
of who I am and I see the joy that
camp has brought to so many.
JOSHUA:Dauphin Bible Camp's
vision of Gospel ministry includes,
but is not limited to, beginningpeople in the faith. DBC seeks
to establish and grow people for
a lifetime of being led more by
Jesus and leading more people to
Jesus. That's Biblical and holistic
discipleship worth celebrating and
supporting!

providing us with dedicated board

deMONTMORENCY WITH ONE HOPE
CANADA (THEN CANADIAN SUNDAY
SCHOOL MISSION) FROM 1953 TO 1992.
AFTER CONCLUDING A SUCCESSFUL
MINISTRY FOR THE LORD, THEY RETIRED
IN WINNIPEG. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE MOST
MEMORABLE PART OF THEIR WORK, THEY BOTH
SAID, HELPING GUIDE INDIVIDUAL CHILDREN
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS SAVIOUR. ROSIE WAS
HAPPIEST DOING CHALK ART FOR GROUPS
WHILE SHIRLEY TOLD THE BIBLE LESSON.
Tell us about your salvation experiences.
ROSIE: I responded to the Gospel when an
evangelist came to my rural church near
Woodstock and the Spirit of God prompted me
to trust in Jesus as my Saviour. William Jones from
Hamilton later baptized me; he was used by God to
help direct my life of service for Him.
SHIRLEY:When I was a teen, I attended an
Inter-School Christian Fellowship event in
Bessie Plunketts Thunder Bay home. While
helping with the dishes, the conversation changed to
my spiritual condition, and she helped me trust the
Lord for salvation.
Our first ministry was to
teach religious education in schools.
that grew to twenty-five schools,
three Sunday Schools and Bible clubs.
Where did your paths frst cross?
SHIRLEY: We attended Toronto Bible College [now
Tyndale University], where we met and later sensed
Gods call to full-time work with Canadian Sunday
School Mission.
What was your frst assignment with the mission?
ROSIE: We were sent to Amaranth, a wide spot on the
road in southern Manitoba, in October 1953. Our frst
ministry was to teach religious education in schools.
That grew to twenty-fve schools, three Sunday
schools, and Bible clubs. It was a joy to work there,
even though our early mode of transportation was by
foot or bicycle. During the prairie winters, traveling
from school to school could be very cold. God later
supplied us with Willy, our little Willys car.
We also had the joy of helping to start Ochre RiverBible Camp, which later moved to near Dauphin and
is now Dauphin Bible Camp, one of the chain of camps
with One Hope Canada.
After a few years in Amaranth, Shirleys mom had
a stroke, and Shirley went home to Sault Ste Marie to
help. She took a teaching job in an elementary school
so she could care for her mom. I stayed in Amaranth
for a couple of years but, by then, it was felt the work

was developing into a church planting ministry.
Don and Donna Lee moved to Amaranth and, in
God's wonderful way, helped start and build a church.
I moved to the Sault where I served with CSSM as
an assistant to Mary Neal, teaching Bible in public
schools and working at Galilean Bible Camp.
What was your next ministry?
SHIRLEY:Our interest in working with childrens
ministry grew stronger and stronger, and the Lord
seemed to be leading us into childrens crusadeswith the Mission. After consultation with CSSMs
national office, it was decided we should begin a
ministry with Childrens Crusades out of Winnipeg,
but reaching into other provinces. In 1966, we visited
the Maritimes to observe a similar CSSM work under
the Whites. That was an eventful trip with our
little travel trailer, but such a valuable one. When
we returned to Manitoba, we were asked to go to
Amaranth for a childrens crusade.
One encouragement was the provision of a unique,
self-supporting chalkboard, with its overhead lightingand black light for Rosies backgrounds to support my
Bible lesson. A man from my church in Sault Ste Marie
created this teaching unit for us. Besides travelling
to summer camps, our time was lled with Bible
presentations to AWANA clubs, Sunday schools, church
childrens clubs, and retirement homes.
ROSIE: One of the greatest challenges in ministry
was the stress of unloading our packed car, lled
with equipment and visuals, to set up for a meeting.
An even greater stress came after the meeting as we
attempted to t everything back into the car.
When you drove into Galilean Bible Camp for
July chapel sessions every third year for a couple
of decades, your station wagon just bulged with
interesting teaching aids. Your puppets took on real
life for campers as they saw ventriloquism done so
eectively. The remarkable hush from the children as
Shirley presented the Gospel through Bible stories
was a gift from God. There was often an audible,
but gentle, expression of awe from campers as
the black light revealed the hidden climax to the
Bible presentation Rosie so cleverly created. At the
camp, we were always thrilled when your letter of
acceptance to our invitation arrived. We wanted you
to join us more often, but realized others wanted a
share of your God-centred ministry. Your valuable
chapel ministry was a huge encouragement to me as
a beginner in camp administration. Even yet, as I talk
with former campers, some still say it was through
your ministry that they began a personal relationship
with the Lord.
What about retirement?
SHIRLEY:Shortly after we retired in 1992, we had the
privilege of going to Venezuela for a short visit. Frieda
Johnson, who served there with TEAM, invited us to
teach missionary children during their missionary
conference. It was a joy when some of them grew in
the Lord.
Now, after over twenty years, we praise the Lord for
His protective care. People gave so much of themselves
so we could serve this way. We are thankful for the
many children who responded to the call of the Gospel
during those exciting and full years.
These two dedicated ladies still reach out to the
needs of people, praying that the Lord will enable
others to present the Gospel to the spiritually needy
across Canada. There will be many in heaven who
found the way and the truth and the life through
Rosie and Shirleys ministry.
