At the 1980 Oklahoma Ardmore CFO, Dr. George Parkhurst revisits his own toddler memory of being kept from his hospitalized mother. He then leads campers to forgive their parents and to invite Jesus into their own memories of rejection.
Dr. George Parkhurst describes teaching patients in his care to say, in the name of Jesus Christ, that the devil must get out, even in their dreams. He offers it to the 1980 Oklahoma Ardmore CFO as part of growing into the new creation in Christ.
Tim Ruthven recalls praying at nine years old, as an orphan in New Zealand, that he would one day become a minister, a vow that only took root years later through Billy Graham’s radio broadcasts.

Given at the 1980 Oklahoma Ardmore CFO. Tim Ruthven leads the campers through Peter’s restoration at the lake in John 21, where Jesus asks, “lovest thou me more than these,” and through the Exodus law of the bondslave whose ear is bored at the doorpost. He urges listeners to move from serving Christ out of duty to serving him out of love, and invites any holding onto a relationship or a piece of jewelry to let it go.

From the 1980 Oklahoma Ardmore CFO. From two Presbyterian churches in New Zealand to a Papua New Guinea village, Tim Ruthven tells the campers how he carried the words of Isaiah 44 for years, pressing a witch doctor there to surrender a lock of “human hair” used in native charms and burn it, and later describing a woman freed from heroin addiction and restored to health.

Tim Ruthven retells the call of Elisha, who left his plow and oxen the moment Elijah’s mantle touched his shoulders, and finds the same “irresistible grace” in his own father, an old horse trainer who gave away his stable and started over with God at sixty. This comes from the 1980 Oklahoma Ardmore CFO. He urges listeners to leave anything holding them back and pursue Jesus with the same total surrender.

Tim Ruthven walks through Esther, from orphan girl to a queen who spent three days shut away with God, and then declined half of Babylon because she had already seen a larger kingdom. His closing charge at the 1980 Oklahoma Ardmore CFO is that campers go home and intercede for America, since a nation was turned “simply by three days alone in the closet with God.”
