Corrie ten Boom recalls a skylark singing above her during a roll call in a concentration camp. She also recalls forgiving a guard who later begged her pardon in Berlin. She teaches the 1971 Tennessee CFO that Romans 5:5 pours the love of God into a believer’s heart, enough to forgive even an enemy.
At the 1971 Tennessee CFO, Dr. Arthur Walker joins Anne White to call medicine an arm of the Lord’s healing. She teaches that Holy Communion can work like a “spiritual transfusion.” She recalls a bitter feud with her church secretary that healed only as the two kept coming to the altar together.
Ellen de Kroon Stamps describes being guided by God with his eyes. A last-minute visa let her carry Bibles across a closed border. She also tells the 1971 Tennessee CFO of a young believer stalked daily by secret police, who claimed the promise to be covered “with his feathers.”
Bob Mumford opens Ephesians 5 to argue that marriage is the testing ground of all ministry. He uses the picture of two mismatched halves brought together to make a whole. He urges the Tennessee CFO in 1971 toward that same adjustment, however long the friction has run.
Closing a week-long healing class at the Tennessee CFO in 1971, Anne White brings a witness from minister John Kilpatrick. He was freed from lifelong asthma, and from a bondage traced to a childhood remedy given by a woman reputed for witchcraft. Anne White teaches that for a Christian, death is “going home to the Lord,” not defeat.
A broken clock kept striking past midnight, until a child said it was “later than it has ever been.” Corrie ten Boom uses the image to warn campers at the Tennessee CFO in 1971 that the signs were multiplying fast, all of them pointing to the coming of Jesus.
Ellen de Kroon Stamps preaches obedience as the law of a disciple’s life. She recalls for the Tennessee CFO in 1971 the night she finally surrendered an engagement ring to Jesus. She also tells of an address hidden in an unopened Bible page to reach believers past hostile customs officers.
Anne White warns campers that resentment, jealousy, and self-pity block the healing Jesus wants to give. Teaching on barriers to healing at the Tennessee CFO in 1971, she cites the operetta line “make the punishment fit the crime” to urge disciplining children in love, not anger.
At the Tennessee CFO in 1971, Anne White opens with the story of kneeling beside her young son’s bed during a severe asthma attack. She forgave a family member she had blamed, and she thanked God before the answer came. Then she watched her son take one deep breath and never suffer an attack again.
Wendell Wallace preaches from Joshua 6 at the Tennessee CFO in 1971. He turns Israel’s seven-day march around Jericho into lessons on living the Christian life one day at a time, on following leadership, and on standing united instead of divided.
At the 1971 Tennessee CFO, Ellen de Kroon Stamps preaches on becoming light rather than darkness. She uses an unlit candle to picture a life with no wick for Christ to burn. She also recalls confessing money she stole as a girl, and mailing the apology at three in the morning.
At the Tennessee CFO in 1971, Wendell Wallace teaches on the nine gifts of the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12. Most believers, he warns, keep their gifts hidden and unused. He then tells how his interracial Portland congregation once lined up before a mob and quoted “greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Facing the mob down that way turned back a threatened race riot.
Corrie ten Boom tells campers about forgiving the countryman who betrayed her family to the Gestapo for six hundred guilders. The man was reconciled to God before his execution the following week. The account comes from a question and answer session at the Tennessee CFO in 1971.
At the 1971 Tennessee CFO, Corrie ten Boom recounts walking a church floor in Africa with one foot raised and one foot low. That walk pictured the crippling of a person who tries to serve two masters. She urges campers toward the straight way of full, obedient surrender to Christ.
Anne White walks campers through avenues to healing: private prayer, proxy prayer for family members, and warnings against horoscopes and charms. She closes with the story of an African boy who hid a “dirty crust of bread” in his clenched fist, her picture of what people refuse to give up to God. The class comes from the 1971 Tennessee CFO.
Bob Mumford preaches on praying in the Spirit. He retells the story of the prophet Balaam and the donkey, which saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with sword drawn when Balaam himself could not. What looks like a serpent in answered prayer, he tells the 1971 Tennessee CFO, is often bread.
At the Tennessee CFO in 1971, Ellen de Kroon Stamps opens a discipleship series with her own path from hospital nursing into full-time ministry. She pictures Paul’s arrest warrants for Damascus as letters he dropped and never picked up again, once he could say that to live is Christ.
In her closing talk to the Tennessee CFO in 1971, Corrie ten Boom walks campers through a parable of a palace with nine rooms, running from rebirth through to fellowship in Christ’s suffering. She also tells of a missionary who prayed that she would never become “a grain of wheat not willing to die.”
Wendell Wallace traces the three flights of Noah’s dove in Genesis 8, reading them as a picture of the Holy Spirit searching for a resting place in the human heart. He illustrates it with a tonsillectomy healed before it could be performed, and with a stranger’s phone call that answered a member’s bankruptcy. The talk comes from the Tennessee CFO in 1971.
Guidance questions from campers fill Corrie ten Boom’s hour at the Tennessee CFO in 1971. She describes an airline clerk who let her write “heaven” as her ticket’s final destination. She also tells of a gospel conversation she deliberately let two secret police officers overhear over breakfast in Moscow.
Wendell Wallace closes the Tennessee CFO in 1971 with a message on “daring faith.” He retells a parable of a man who searched a year for a magic touchstone, only to throw away the very one he found. He recounts a putrefying wound healed at a Manila rally. He also tells of nine hundred Koreans who received the Holy Ghost as he repeated the Korean phrase for “receive ye the Holy Ghost.”
Wendell Wallace answers questions on fasting and healing. Teaching from Isaiah 58, he says that a fast which does not “undo the heavy burdens” and “let the oppressed go free” means nothing to God. He shares his own week of hot lemon water and honey, and the prayer he gave a mother, to “save my son at any cost.” He was speaking to the Tennessee CFO in 1971.
Corrie ten Boom compares the astronauts who walked on the moon to Christ’s ambassadors, obedient and wholly dependent on the team behind them. She also recalls asking a dying fellow prisoner whether she had given her heart to Jesus. The talk comes from the Tennessee CFO in 1971.
Worry is a rag stuffed inside a flashlight, blocking its light. That is how Corrie ten Boom puts it to the 1971 Tennessee CFO. She asks campers to cast each anxious burden on the Lord, and to picture themselves riding an escalator upward rather than carrying the weight across a tightrope alone.
