Series: Minnesota Koronis CFO 1968

Messages spoken at the Minnesota Koronis CFO 1968.

At the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1968, Reg Goff tells of a farm wife whose alcoholic husband had abused her for thirty years. She met his hardness with unconditional welcome instead of argument, until he finally said, “if it’s your Jesus that’s making you do this, I want to know him.” He also tells of a father whose patient love undid his rebellious daughter’s resistance, and he defines love itself as “the desire to bless with everything you have.”

Frank Laubach speaks to young people at the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1968. He recalls a night alone on a hill in the Philippines, when he complained to God about the people he had been sent to reach. He heard his own lips answer that he did not really love them.

Speaking partway through the Minnesota Koronis CFO in 1968, Frank Laubach compares the practice of closing your eyes to talk with Christ to Columbus sailing toward a world he could not yet see. He also recalls teaching young converts in the Philippines a card game that scored how many minutes of an hour they remembered Jesus.
