The Vine Wrapped Around Her Oak Tree

Anna Marie Sheffield describes a dream of a vine choking a live oak tree, which showed her a root of rejection planted by offhand remarks from her mother and grandmother. At the Arkansas CFO in 2004, she tells how her dying mother’s hand on her face later fulfilled Isaiah 61’s promise to “rebuild the old ruins.”

A New Truck Filled With Jewels

Anna Marie Sheffield tells how she was healed of a year of anger after her young son’s death. She then describes a dream in which Jesus swaps her old, cluttered truck for a new one carrying jeweled necklaces, a picture of intimacy through prayer. She shared it at the 2004 Arkansas CFO.

The Senior Warden Whose Hands Catch Fire

Anna Marie Sheffield and Jack Sheffield lead a healing service at the Arkansas CFO in 2004. Anna Marie opens with her testimony of learning to “seek my face” through visions of reunited loved ones. Jack follows with the story of a skeptical senior warden whose hands catch fire in prayer. The couple then lay hands on campers for arthritis, numbness, and other pain.

Obedience, Not Expedience

Alex McCullough closes the servant themed week at the Arkansas CFO in 1999 by telling campers that they cannot take the camp home with them, only what it made of them. Following God, he says, is a matter of obedience, not convenience. He then plays a wordless “Testimony Musical” on saxophone and clarinet, the same instruments he set aside, unplayed, for ten years after becoming a Christian.

A BB’s Worth of Faith

Alex McCullough continues the servant themed week by turning healing into the week’s quiz-and-answer refrain, “why were we healed? To serve.” He then explains that he once prayed a headache away while driving with one hand on the wheel. Only “a BB’s worth” of faith was needed, he tells the Arkansas CFO in 1999, to see six weeks later that his lifelong hay fever and cat allergy were gone.

Congregation, Aggregation, and Aggravation

Alex McCullough asks campers “who is they?” and answers with two encounters from before he was even a Christian: comforting a homeless man in Manhattan and a trembling kitchen worker newly arrived from the Caribbean. Fear sees “they” while love sees “us,” he insists, and a true congregation, unlike a mere aggregation, becomes one. He preached it at the 1988 Southern California Healing CFO.

Don’t Act Like a Pastor

Alex McCullough opens the week’s servant themed talks with Jesus washing the disciples’ feet in John 13, at the Arkansas CFO in 1999. He ties it back to Matthew 20’s charge that “whoever would be first among you must be your slave.” He admits that his own upbringing with a live-in butler made real service hard to receive. He would rather his wife “slam it to me,” he says, than ever catch him acting like a pastor.

Eureka Means I Have Found It

Alex McCullough retells his seven-year search for God. It ended, he says, on the Tappan Zee Bridge, when he saw “the Father and the Son” beside him in the car. At the Arkansas CFO in 1999 he ties the story to the week’s opening theme of being saved in order to serve.

The Sea That Never Gives Back

At the 1999 Arkansas CFO, Alex McCullough contrasts the Sea of Galilee, which receives and gives, with the Dead Sea, which only takes. His lesson for campers is that a giving life is a living life. He then tells how he and his wife gave up his salary as a school band director and musician to enter the ministry on trust.

Cover And Concealment At Parris Island

From his week at the 1999 Arkansas CFO, Alex McCullough draws on his Marine Corps training at Parris Island to picture standing against the “wiles of the devil.” He points to its discipline, cover, and concealment. He also remembers a boyhood friend, Monty, killed in the Second World War.

The Chicken Yard Pecks Its Wounded

Al Durrance preaches under the marquee title “Turkeys Unite” at the Florida Family CFO in 1986. He warns against the chicken yard instinct to peck an already wounded bird. He calls campers to answer the Holy Spirit’s three questions: whether they are willing to be led, changed, and used.

The Little Girl Who Sensed His Anger

Al Durrance recalls a small girl at St. Cloud who told her grandmother to leave because he was preaching love while sounding angry. He teaches from there that Christ’s authority always sets people free rather than binding them, and that forgiveness is a love stretched elastic enough to fit imperfect people. He gave the talk at the Florida Family CFO in 1999.

Red Socks Make People Talk About God

Al Durrance wears red socks because, unlike clerical dress, they get people talking about God. Preaching from Romans at the Florida Family CFO in 1999, he uses an old Tarzan movie to explain that true sacrifice means offering yourself to God, not dying. Believers, he says, must keep climbing back onto the altar.

The Stepmother Who Refused to Leave the House

Al Durrance teaches on the healing of memories at the Florida Family CFO in 1999. He moves from confession and the casting out of a spirit of anger to a house blessing, where his wife’s voice suddenly warns a departed stepmother she has no permission to stay. He sends her on in the name of Jesus.

Recreation Is Spelled Re, Not Wreck

Al Durrance walks campers through a typical day at the camp, from morning meditation through rhythms, creatives, and prayer groups. He jokes that recreation is not a wreck but its own re-creation. The talk was given at the Florida Family CFO in 1999.

Under The Broom Tree

Bunny Brock teaches that praise, not just prayer, “obtains the answer.” Al Brock compares the letdown after a mountaintop experience to Elijah resting under a broom tree, before God sends him back to work. This is the closing Saturday session of the 1985 Florida Family CFO.
