Series: Boston Advance CFO 1961

Give It Up To Receive It

Bernie Warfield tells campers how his congregation’s stalled plan to buy a new parsonage moved forward only after he prayed to release his own wish for it. He preached that lesson at the Midwinter Advance CFO in 1961 as “if you lose it, you’ll find it.”

Space Experiments of the Spirit

Ruth Robison wears an orchid, the flower her young son handed her at the train station before the first camp she ever attended. She asks prayer groups to arrive already filled with power instead of empty, and she wants Christians experimenting in eternity as boldly as chosen men experiment in space. She is speaking to the Midwinter Advance CFO in 1961.
