Marcia Brown draws on decades spent preparing microscope slides. Being filled with Christ, she tells the Montana CFO in 1970, is like paraffin soaking into every cell of a specimen, “so close that you can’t tell where you stop and He begins.”

Marcia Brown draws on decades spent preparing microscope slides. Being filled with Christ, she tells the Montana CFO in 1970, is like paraffin soaking into every cell of a specimen, “so close that you can’t tell where you stop and He begins.”
Ruth Martin likens small daily habits to gravel clogging the channel God prays through. She tells of praying for a niece, and then of her son dying in a plane crash and of the deafness her grief brought on. After that she heard, “when you really contact me, all you love are blessed.” She was speaking at the 1970 Montana CFO.
Tommy Tyson tells campers at 1970 Montana CFO that many redeemed people are “not standing on the promises, they’re sitting on them.” He calls for the consecration of the redeemed self so the Holy Spirit can quicken a person’s natural talents, and tells of a priest in Peru who commanded an earthquake to stop.
Alone in a Portland hotel room, Tommy Tyson prayed, and two names came to him. He wrote to both: one letter reached a man hours after his mother died, and the other reached a woman on the worst day of her pain. Campers at the Montana CFO in 1970 hear him call this being “God’s prayer partner,” praying with God and not only to him.
At the 1970 Montana CFO, Tommy Tyson holds that Jesus could not reproduce himself until the seed fell into the ground and died. His life spreads through us only while the love for him burns, the way scarlet fever is catching only while the fever lasts. Fruit, he adds, comes up out of the root, never out of effort.
At the Montana CFO in 1970, Jo Kimmel Chestnut teaches campers to pray as a channel for God’s love. She recounts a woman healed of bursitis in a prayer circle, and a girl healed of Bell’s palsy after she and the girl’s mother prayed together. She borrows comedian Bill Cosby’s “Noah” routine for her own refrain in prayer, “just me and you, Lord.”
