CAMP NEWS

Fern Outlaw, whom many have come to know and love over the years, has moved to Ft. Worth, Texas, to live with her daughter and son-in-law. Fern has been a part of the Lake Hamilton Bible Camp family since 1975, shortly after moving to Hot Springs with her husband and family. Prior to the move, God had spoken to her and said that He was building her a "holding on place". That place was LHBC and in 1975 "building" was just getting started. Not only has Fern held on to us, but many of us have had the opportunity to hold on to her, and the Jesus in her. But we are all having to let go, and let God move. Fern has ministered to many of you, on a one-to-one basis, and her heart continues to desire for God's people to be set free from the bondages that hinder them from moving on in the Lord. Over the years, Fern has demonstrated a faithfulness to the Lord and to her family, that has been a testimony to all who know her. The fruit of that faithfulness is now coming to harvest and she is witnessing the Kingdom of God coming forth in the lives of her loved ones. We pray God's richest blessings be her portion in her new home. She plans to be able to come back for some of the campmeetings.

Dr. William Null, has retired from his pediatric practice in Salina, KS, and has relocated to Lake Hamilton Bible Camp. We welcome him to Arkansas. Bill first started coming to campmeetings in 1981. In the mid-eighties, with Glen's permission, he launched the 6:00 am prayer meeting. Many of you have experienced transformed lives as a result of how Jesus met you in that early morning service. In 1990, Bill began to teach and minister deliverance here at some of the campmeetings. Additionally, he ministers to the men during the 1:15 men's deliverance services that are held during our conferences. Many do not realize the labor of love that has been demonstrated through this faithful servant over the years. He has driven 1,100 miles roundtrip, every campmeeting for many years. The only times he has missed is when there was no one to take his place on call at the hospital, and those were rare times. Now that Doc lives here, he won't have to "hit the road" anymore after the last service. In addition to helping with the ministry, he is writing a book which he plans to have published soon.

Bob & Juanita Banker, who have been a part of the ministry here for a little over two years, are moving back to Florida to be with their family. Juanita has been one of our musicians, faithful to play the organ whenever she was needed. Additionally, she has been filling your tape and book orders for some time now. Bob also helped with filling orders when he could. Bob oversaw the rebuilding of the campground pick-up truck and has been a tremendous source of spiritual encouragement to many. We are grateful for the time the Lord shared them with us and bless them in their new location.

Amy DuFresne, my grandson Daniel's wife, and mother of Isaiah, who has been a tremendous help in the office to Christel and Patti, has had to relinquish her duties here to help Daniel full-time in their glass blowing business in downtown Hot Springs. We are grateful the Lord is blessing their business so abundantly, but do miss her sweet spirit and the joy of having my three-year old great-grandson, Isaiah, here to run and give me hugs. Amy, did most of the compiling of our magazine, Voices From His Excellent Glory, so bear with us we make the transition.
