Dearest Friends:
The 2005 Summer Camp for Children and Youth was a tremendous success. The anointed
leadership of Diane Bijeaux and her team presented a theme of Obedience, based on being
positioned "UNDER GOD'S UMBRELLA". They learned about the Patriotic Umbrella of
1 Timothy 2:1-8 (The children sent a letter to President Bush letting him know they were
praying for him); the Family Umbrella of Ephesians 6:1-3; the Gospel Umbrella which
includes salvation and baptism, and the Church Umbrella of Hebrews 10:19-25. It was
amazing to see how the Holy Ghost tied everything together! We thank ALL the volunteers
who participated as team leaders, lifeguards, snack helpers, ministers, and the parents
and children who helped make this Summer Camp one of the most glorious ever! We went to
the lake and baptized fifteen children and five adults. Several young people received the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Deliverance was ministered throughout the week. We continue to
receive phone calls and letters with testimonies of what God did. There were children here
with unsaved parents (brought by friends or relatives) and they went away better equipped
to live as overcomers and prayer warriors for their family. Pray for these children to
stay strong in the LORD, to see their parents come to Jesus.
The adults were privileged to hear solid truth from men and women of God who prepared
themselves in advance, spent time hearing from God, and were ready when it was their turn,
to deliver fresh manna to God's people. We prayerfully seek the Lord to help us invite
ministry whose primary agenda is to glorify Jesus. God knows our hearts and graciously
sets in place those He desires to minister here at Lake Hamilton Bible Camp. We thank Him
for each one He sends, as they help us all come into the fullness of Christ. We began
Saturday evening with Carl Fox laying the foundation and showing us how to walk with
Jesus. Throughout the week, Nathan Hopson shared principles of how to live a victorious
Christian life implementing prayer, fasting, guarding your tongue and allowing the Word of
God to dwell in you to transform you. Cheryl Batts laid out the course of victory for us
to take over the kings in our lives. Clement Humbard urged us to be ready and taught how
to participate in the Glory of the LORD that is yet to come. Carla Butaud discussed some
of satan's most effective devices and how to defeat them. Dr. William Null shared light on
the spirit of bondage and it's ability to control a person. Jim Landry revealed the
treasure that delegated authority can be when we flow in God's order. Chris Simpson
brought truth to how lies hinder our walk with God. The clarion call throughout the week
focused on the individual's daily walk with the LORD and the ability He has given each of
us to defeat the enemy as we walk IN HIM. This series of meetings concluded in an unusual
way Friday morning with me asking several people who have been a part of Lake Hamilton
Bible Camp to share a brief testimony. We titled it "Some of Glen's Family".
Please consider obtaining the entire conference on CD. Neither this letter nor the
synopsis can fully convey the value of each message.
We truly thank all who have contributed towards the repair of the camp's backhoe. The need
far exceeded our original estimate but God has faithfully provided with just enough left
over to buy the diesel fuel to drive it back to camp. The backhoe situation became like
remodeling a house. Once you tear down some walls you find things wrong that have to be
fixed. Praise God the mechanics spotted the problems and were able to fix them.
LABOR DAY CAMP is fast approaching. It will begin September 1, 2005, with
supper at 5:00 pm and the first service at 7:00 pm. Meetings will continue through
September 5th, with camp concluding after lunch. Pastors Angelo and Nancy Rosario, will be
ministering here for the first time. I was privileged to meet them in March when I spoke
at Jim Landry's Spiritual Warfare Conference in Beaumont, Texas. They pastor Church of
God's Children, in Bronx, Co-op City, New York. We look forward to what they have to share
in addition to our faithful team of ministers, Clement Humbard, Cheryl Batts, Dr. William
Null, and Carla Butaud.
TOMMY COOK, who was always one of Erma's favorite preachers, has gone to be with the LORD.
We bless his wife, Wanda, their children and grandchildren. Tommy ministered here for many
years and we appreciated the Word of the LORD that flowed through him. He was a gifted
preacher, prophet and teacher.
Kevin continues to convert messages to CD's as time permits. He is now able to record the
sessions in tracks. In this issue we have quite a number of selections, including a
wonderful series by Bob Mumford, entitled The Principles and Purpose of Temptation. I
recorded these years ago in the early seventies in California and they have been among
some of the 7" reels that we have had in storage "for such a time as this".
This series of 7 CD's is comparable to a short course in Christianity. Bro. Bob teaches in
a humorous manner that can easily be understood by all. You will benefit tremendously from
this series.
The article I started in the last issue of Thoughts From My Notebook That I Ponder was
intended to continue in this issue. However, it will have to be concluded in the
September/October issue as I have not had time to finish it. We bless our readers and do
not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his
will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Gratefully,
Glen Miller & Staff
