Gertrude Dekock Keehn tells of an airman whose downed plane left him in the jungle overnight. A leopard rested its head on his knee after he told it, “the life in you is God, the life in me is God.” She calls the campers at the North Florida CFO in 1964 to the same practiced stillness.
On Communion night, Gertrude Dekock Keehn tells of a Russian blood scientist whose photographs showed that fear and faith leave their mark in the bloodstream. That discovery finally answered her childhood question about being washed in the blood of the Lamb. Her talk closes the North Florida CFO week in 1964.
Gertrude Dekock Keehn traces God’s name “I am that I am” from Moses at the burning bush through Jesus’ own words. At the 1964 North Florida CFO, she tells campers of the flash of light she saw at the exact moment her father died six thousand miles away. She calls it proof that a soul freed from the body travels faster than any plane.
At the 1964 North Florida CFO, Gertrude Dekock Keehn works through Hebrews 11 on faith as “the substance of things hoped for.” She recalls standing in her hallway, certain a cake was coming for a girls’ Bible class, with nothing in the house to serve. A stranger who had just missed his bus then arrived at the door with one.
