November/December 2004

Dear Beloved Friends:

Where has 2004 gone? As we ask ourselves that question, we must also reflect on what has been accomplished for His Glory. We have seen hundreds set free from oppressions and bondages that have plagued them for most of their lives. Many more have come to know Jesus in a deeper way. Still others are testifying of the miraculous healing that has taken place in their lives. For all of this we truly Praise the LORD. But, we are all approaching that day spoken of in Matthew 7, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." LORD, help us all to truly obey Your Word, surrender to Your will, that we will be found faithful in that day.

Deliverance Ministers Conference: "Kingdom building" - "Refresher course" - "Spiritual Maturity" - These were some of the comments heard concerning this conference held October 26th-29th. Norman Parish, Guatemala City, Guatemala, delivered a powerful message to this group of ministers on the topic of self-deliverance. There are times when we all need the help of our fellow Christians, but God's people must know Jesus as their deliverer and learn how to pray for themselves. The clarion call for everyone is that deliverance is not just an event - it is part of our Christian walk. Pastors need this information for instruction and to equip their congregations. Jim Landry's message on the consequences of judging your parents will make a difference in your life and your ministry. Both Chris Simpson and Geri McGhee shared Scriptures profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, to better equip the deliverance minister to help others. Jean Fisher encouraged the folks to get deliverance for themselves as it is an essential part of discipleship and requires us to push past hurt, failures and offences, forgive and walk through them. Dr. Bill Null reported the six a.m. prayer meeting to be one where he really felt the power of the other intercessors helping to pray. Some stood and waited for two hours to be ministered to and the LORD was there to touch, heal, restore and deliver.

Thanksgiving Camp: Our condolences to the Melvin Creason family. I spoke with Bro. Creason on Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving Camp, to confirm he would still be able to come and speak for us. On Wednesday afternoon, Bill Smith, from Ft. Worth, TX, called with the news that Bro. Creason had gone to glory. It was a privilege to have known this great man of God and we pray God's comfort for the family during this time of adjustment for them. We always prepare, as best we know how, for each Campmeeting and then the LORD orchestrates them for His purposes and Glory! He knew He was calling Bro. Melvin home to Him, and laid it on the hearts of Ronnie and Diane Bijeaux, a month or so before Thanksgiving, to come and spend this holiday at Camp. They had asked to come a few days ahead of time and just get away with God, not knowing the LORD was putting this trip on their hearts because we would need them to help minister! What a mighty God we serve. Rod and Linda Johnson arrived on Friday after spending Thanksgiving Day in Texas with their children. God has gifted Rod as a prophet and when the anointing comes to prophesy, deep calleth unto deep. Cheryl Batts, ministered to the ladies and at the 3 pm deliverance service on Friday. The enemy had tried to knock her out with an infirmity that caused extreme dizziness, but God restored and raised her up in the final hour! Dr. Bill Null delivered two informative messages on the anti-christ and Biblical discernment. We are always amazed how each Campmeeting is so different. The Holy Spirit sets the theme, brings the people that are supposed to be here, and ties it all together with the Word of God. We give special thanks to all those who worked behind the scenes to help make this one of the best campmeetings ever!

Mid-Winter Camp - December 25th - December 31st Watchnight service - Plan to spend the last days of 2004, worshiping and praising the LORD with us. God's anointed men and women will be here to teach and minister. Scheduled for this series of meetings are Howard Pittman, Chris Simpson, Ronnie & Diane Bijeaux, Dr. Bill Null, Cheryl Batts, Tom and Dianne Stone and Clement Humbard. Reservations are already being made. If you plan to fly, please let us know well in advance so arrangements can be made to pick you up at the Little Rock airport.

Computers: Thanks to all who have donated monitors and printers towards our recycle project. Two complete systems have come in (a Pentium 90 and a Pentium 120) and have been set up as Bible Study workstations. We still need CPU's to partner with the six monitors that have been donated. We could really use Pentium III's or IV's. Consider an end of the year tax donation on a new system. Someone sent a check to help enable us to get the equipment needed to re-work the old tapes. Another person has offered to help with that project and will be doing a test run on a few of the original reels. We are looking forward to a favorable outcome.

Testimony: We received a call from a lady wanting to order Strongman's His Name, What's His Game. She said her church had used the book over twenty years ago and she wanted to know if it was still available. She is now in a different city and a new church and felt the pastor needed this book. I asked her how she got our number to call. She said she called the church she used to attend twenty years ago because she had donated a copy of the book to the church library. She remembered there was a sticker in the book where she had ordered it from. They found the book and read her our phone number, so she called and was thrilled we were still here. We told her that is why we put our stickers in the books. Publishers go out of business, authors change their addresses, but, by the grace of God, Lake Hamilton Bible Camp is here to stay! It is a privilege to make available to God's people, these wonderful books and tapes to help them in their Christian walk.

Blessings to you,

Glen Miller and Staff
