At the 1982 New Hampshire Winni CFO, Earl Tyson traces the kingdom of God from a childhood healing after a praying woman’s visit. He ends at a train station image of a boy who feels safe because his mother holds his hand.
Earl Tyson recalls a woman in his former congregation named Juanita, who told him he would become an evangelist years before he believed it. He describes leaving his Methodist pulpit in 1970 with no guaranteed salary, after hearing God say, “I bake it fresh every day.” He brought the message to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1982.
Earl Tyson preaches on Jesus returning from the wilderness “armed in the power of the Holy Spirit,” in a message to the 1982 New Hampshire Winni CFO. He jokes that the carpenter’s shop sign really read “my yokes fit.” He builds to his insistence that God will not fail those who trust him.
Earl Tyson describes surrendering his anger after a district superintendent warned a host church against him. A handwritten note from the bishop followed, with fifty dollars “to help you buy bread.” That, he tells the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1982, is a picture of what unconditional surrender to Christ costs and gives back.
Speaking to campers at the 1982 New Hampshire Winni CFO, Earl Tyson tells of a teenage girl who hid for hours inside the wall of an old house. He also tells of a young woman named Margaret, whose two years of being loved back from despair became a picture of healing. Even the most hidden, hurting people, he says, remain within reach of God’s love.
Earl Tyson tells of a barefoot boy in Jerusalem who traded him flowers for a fifty cent piece. He keeps circling back to his own refrain, “I had my eye on that.” The lesson he brought to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1982 is that people become like whatever holds their gaze.
Jo Kimmel Chestnut teaches on abiding in the vine from John 15. She leads an exercise in which campers hold hands and step apart until each one stands alone as a branch cut off, then step back together again. She recalls introducing Francis McNutt to prayer ministry, and closes with a healing and blessing service at the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1982.
Jo Kimmel Chestnut compares trying to force someone to change to prying open a rosebud before it is ready to bloom. Speaking to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1982, she describes raising her three daughters alone after her husband Ted’s death. She teaches campers to relax their jaw and breathe slowly instead of reacting in anger.
Jo Kimmel Chestnut recalls a college group praying around the clock for a young woman left comatose after a car crash. They asked that “the mind that’s in Christ Jesus” be in her until she fully recovered. She also describes discovering a “gift of options” while counseling suicidal women in a singles ministry, and she traces that gift to her own baptism in the Holy Spirit. She was speaking to the New Hampshire Winni CFO in 1982.
Jo Kimmel Chestnut says a spiritual fire needs fresh twigs added, or it goes cold once campers go home. At the 1982 New Hampshire Winni CFO, she recalls unexpected gifts that arrived for her after a man named Clyde left and took her savings, among them a debt-free lake house to use.
