Roland Brown Jr. imagines the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to pray. He then tells the 2005 Zone 4 CFO retreat that in Matthew, Jesus promises answered prayer to the Father who “sees in secret,” not merely to the Father who hears.
Roland Brown Jr. explains Jesus’ two conditions for answered prayer: abiding in Christ, and letting his words abide in us. He cites David C. Cook’s rings stamped “I am his” and Larry Gould’s pocket stone as reminders to stay aware of Christ. He was speaking at the Zone 4 CFO retreat in 2005.
Speaking at the 75th anniversary weekend of the Zone 4 CFO retreat in 2005, Roland Brown Jr. tells how a Christmas card from Lena Mathis brought his parents to CFO. The card carried Glenn Clark’s booklet “The Lord’s Prayer.” He then works through Glenn Clark’s framework for praying “thy kingdom come, thy will be done.”
At the Zone 4 CFO retreat in 2005, Roland Brown Jr. traces how Glenn Clark’s Bible class in Minneapolis grew into the first Camp Farthest Out, funded by twelve businessmen in 1930. He also recalls Glenn Clark, as a boy, dousing a blazing cottage fire with one bucket of water.
