Glenn Harding urges campers to see past the surface and really see one another. He illustrates it with Alec Smith, a once self-absorbed teenager who found direction at a camp and carried it through a chance meeting in England to Liberia. Within a month of settling in the village of Barnway, the team’s first church meeting drew 185 people. The talk comes from the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1963.
Louise Eggleston tells how three unrelated invitations toward Texas convinced her God was steering her to New Orleans. There a promise made to a widow filled a church and drew a friend’s hour of prayer for the city. She brought the account to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1964.
Every thought shapes the body and the life we build, Louise Eggleston teaches at the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1959. She illustrates it with her two-year-old niece who, coaxed into eating spinach, echoed a television cigarette jingle straight back at her mother.
Louise Eggleston revisits, for the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1959, the founding of a training center a decade earlier. A roofer refused to touch a leaking tile roof rather than disturb a beehive, and a worker who cleared it found fifty years of stored honey.
Preaching on the promise to set the captives free, Louise Eggleston describes aiming a message at a minister’s secret drinking. She learned afterward that a young veteran in the third row had been hiding the very same struggle. The talk was given to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1957.
At the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1957, Louise Eggleston walks campers through the three temptations Jesus faced alone in the wilderness. There was his hunger, the lure of ruling the kingdoms of the world, and a dare to leap from the temple. She shows how scripture answered each one.
At the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1963, Glenn Harding reads from letters sent home by Koinonia’s mission team in Liberia. One tells of a hostile village leader known only as “Honorable.” He tested a young team member for months, until the day they finally “ate out of the same pan.”
Louise Eggleston described a wealthy, elderly man so despised that neighbors crossed the street rather than pass his wheelchair. She won his confidence by asking, through his wife, to compare a few notes. She recounted it at the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1964.
At the 1964 New Hampshire Winni CFO, Louise Eggleston preached on Moses, who failed at forty and spent forty more years as a shepherd before God called him through a bush that burned yet was never consumed. The same emptying of self, she said, lets God’s Spirit finally work.
At the 1960 New Hampshire Winni CFO, Starr Daily unfolds the Trinity as the pattern behind every set of three in scripture. One of them is “ask, seek and knock,” which he says reverses the order a baby learns. His own father knocked for twenty-five years and died with every prayer disappointed, and the answer came six months later.
