The Sheep Shed Church

At the 1991 Florida Family CFO, Betty Malz warns campers against judging others, using the image of checking a car’s oil before finding fault with someone else’s. She also tells of a Vietnam veteran turned pastor who nicknamed his growing congregation “the sheep shed.”

A Rock Called Giant Killer

Betty Malz calls herself a survivor, recounting near-fatal illnesses, a 28 minute death experience, and the loss of her first husband. She keeps a rock marked “Giant Killer” in her purse as a reminder that all she needs is God. She gave the talk at the Florida Family CFO in 1991.

Hurricanes Give Warning, Tornadoes Do Not

At the Florida Family CFO in 1991, Betty Malz tells campers that a hurricane gives two weeks warning, but a tornado flattened her new home in twenty seconds. She also recalls her daughter, afraid alone during the Gainesville murders, and telling her to carry Psalm 27:5, “in the time of trouble he shall hide me,” against her heart.

The Only Thing You Can Take With You

Betty Malz recalls the 44-day coma that followed a ruptured appendix. At the Florida Family CFO in 1991 she says it taught her that oil wells, show dogs, and quarter horses meant nothing beside the people she could invest in. As she lay near death, an untrained guitar player read her the line “he sent his word and healed them.”

Small Deposits and Great Withdrawals

Betty Malz tells campers to pray for results, not for show, and she opens each day by declaring “Yes, Lord” before her eyes are open. She points to a neighbor who built trust at his bank through years of small deposits, so a single large withdrawal was honored without question. That is a habit she carried into the Florida Family CFO in 1991.

Scared to Death, but Something Wonderful

Bertha Jarrett tells the movement about a French coworker who resented her simply for smiling too much. A small pamphlet called “How to Change the Other Person” showed her that only love, not argument, could reach a hurting person. She closes by describing a butterfly kit she was given. She watched a caterpillar’s crumpled new wings unfurl inside its chrysalis, and she compares the process to what that same love is doing inside every camper.

The Big Berthas and the Beatitudes

Bertha Jarrett recalls being teased as one of the “big Berthas,” after the German cannons of the first war, because she outgrew her classmates as a girl. Years later her husband’s sudden death sent her into the Beatitudes and the teaching on the mount for the first time. She tells the camps that seeking the kingdom first, as Jesus taught, opened every door that followed.

The Book Found During a Phone Call

Speaking to campers at the 1990 Southern California CFO, Bert Kerley continues the recovery testimony he began in the previous session. Books such as “God Calling” kept turning up just when he needed them, he says; one appeared on a shelf while he waited out a friend’s phone call. He credits Norman Vincent Peale with teaching him to relax, think positively, and say no kindly.

A Name Rising From the Depths

Bert Kerley describes his practice of becoming still before making decisions. He recalls how the name “Peter” surfaced during a quiet hour, and how that name led him to the buyer who purchased his old house. The talk comes from the Southern California CFO in 1990.

What If I Had Loved Instead of Hating?

Bert Kerley tells campers of a woodcutter who climbs a distant mountain seeking God, only to find his own troubled home waiting at the summit. He also retells how the imprisoned Star Daily broke free of hatred by asking, “What if I had loved instead of hating.” He ties both stories to his counseling lesson that happiness rests on attitude, not circumstance, in a talk to the 1990 Southern California CFO.

Two Hands on My Shoulder

Bert Kerley describes the nervous breakdown that followed his infant son’s death and years of hidden strain. Speaking at the 1990 Southern California CFO, he then describes a shoulder tap from an old friend. It led him to a retreat bookshop, where he found the book that began his healing.

The Young Pianist Who Thought of Love

Bert Kerley asks whether “God is love” can still be true in the face of tragedy. He recalls a Welsh mining disaster that killed sixty schoolchildren, and a young pianist who said she thought of everyone who loved her as she played. He gave this talk on trusting that love has the final word to the Northern California CFO in 1982.

A Chance Meeting With Hope Peale

Bert Kerley recounts a lunch appointment canceled during the Northern California CFO in 1982. It led him, through what he calls “no such things as chance,” to a chance meeting with Hope Peale, a relative of Norman Vincent Peale. He then turns to teach that Christ dwells within every believer.

Just Wanted To Say Cheerio

Barbara Ann Chase resumes her testimony for the Arkansas CFO in 2000. She starts with the vision of praying in the world’s languages that came with her baptism in the Holy Spirit as a Dominican nun, then moves to the chance meeting in a Seattle department store that opened thirty years of ministry in Scotland. She closes with the Glasgow street boy who later phoned just to say “cheerio.”

The Sandal That Sealed The Redemption

Barbara Ann Chase continues her line by line study of Ruth, following her from gleaning in Boaz’s field to the threshing floor and the city gate. There the nearer kinsman hands over his sandal so Boaz can redeem both land and bride. The Bible study was given to the 2000 Arkansas CFO.

The Worm Had Its Own Appointment

At the Arkansas CFO in 2000, Barbara Ann Chase preaches from the book of Jonah, tracing his flight to Tarshish, the storm, and the great fish. She dwells on the worm God appoints to destroy Jonah’s shade plant, using it to show that Jonah’s anger at Nineveh’s mercy cannot outlast the compassion of God.
