Tim Ruthven traces how a religious spirit crept into the character of the mother he had never known, until a pastoral visit reunited them in his forties. A promise from a Korean prayer cell, “three women will love you,” was fulfilled at her deathbed. He told the story at the 1990 Mississippi CFO.
At the 1990 Mississippi CFO, Tim Ruthven tells how an overweight bag got him turned away at the airport and cost him his flight to Frankfurt. In the two day delay that followed, he found a phrase from Daniel chapter 10, “and touched me again.” He leads the campers in praying that phrase back to God.
Tim Ruthven describes an orthopedic surgeon in New Mexico who prayed over his own diagnosis before surgery. Taking up that morning’s session again at the Mississippi CFO in 1990, he uses a childhood memory of pestering his mother for a “maybe” to picture how the campers should keep pressing God for revival.
Tim Ruthven tells of panicking over a solo train trip to Grimsby after brain surgery left him prone to fear, and of trusting God through each step of the journey. At the 1990 Mississippi CFO he uses the story to picture believers as a “royal priesthood” who intercede by faith.
At the 1990 Mississippi CFO, Tim Ruthven calls campers to pray for “a spirit of prayer” to fall on the camp and its people. He tells how his daughter Robin, blinded in a car accident, was given entirely new eyes rather than her old eyesight restored.
Tim Ruthven recounts leading a household of thirty former street people. Obeying Jesus’ words to ask, seek, and knock from Luke 11, they wrote their food needs on a blackboard and never missed a meal for two years. He shares the testimony at communion during the Mississippi CFO in 1990.
