Our purpose is...to spread the message of Jesus Christ through the preaching and the teaching of the Bible at regular services and during our Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter Retreats. 

The camp is available to other Christian groups to use with approval from the board and we encourage everyone to consider using these wonderful facilities for meetings, retreats, etc.  Our scheduled camp retreats provide adult and youth morning bible studies, love feasts, times of fellowship, afternoon youth activities for ages 13 and up, regular evening services, and a nightly youth campfire with singing. The camp was founded by Reverend's Earl & Ethel Waterman in the mid-70's as a non-profit camp that is run completely on faith.  Support comes from the friends and family of the conference.  For more information contact:  Jeff Gilman, President  (207) 438-9024 jeff_gilman@yahoo.com

UPDATE ON BUILDING PROJECTS

Many thanks to the 30+ volunteers organized by Nick DeRaleau and our caretakers in putting on a new roof over the caretaker's apartment.  This work was badly needed to stop the water leaks into the apartment, and repairs were long overdue.  God bless you!

There are plenty of projects and work that always needs to be done.  Both small and large projects.  If you can donate your time or send us a contribution to the building fund it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your support!

Hello everyone,

We had a wonderful rally with Dr. Michael Saunders sharing about grace with
multimedia presentations, and his friend Steve Bleiler sharing dramatic scenes
of Jesus and scripture. The days were filled with Adult Bible Studies thanks to
the efforts of Pauline Phelps and Michael. Steve Cox volunteered to lead the
youth this time, and he did a great job. We had a lot of kids ranging from a
few weeks old up through 18+, and he kept them all busy with Bible Studies,
hikes, a trip to Chutters, games, singing and campfires. I know they loved it.
Mary Spaide and Valerie Kemp entertained the little ones with songs, stories,
games, and caramel covered apples. They had a great time as well. Our cook,
Nick did a wonderful job with the food and we ate well. Loren worked hard again to provide tapes of the services and Bible Studies at no charge to everyone that asked for them. We are very thankful for his dedication to being at each rally to run our sound and to keep the tape ministry going. Theresa Gilman wrote songs, directed the choir, played the piano, and simply provided inspirational moments through music. Terry Saunders played for the services which is always a blessing since we don't have any music for her to read! I'm sure that I am leaving someone out so I'll apologize now for it. We had many volunteers pitch in with the needs in the dining room, kitchen, and many other areas. Many thanks go out to each one. The weather was beautiful, the colors are changing, and a couple of people even got to see a few snowflakes at 7:30 a.m. one morning.

I don't know what your plans are for 2010, and perhaps you do not know either. But, I want to encourage you now to plan to attend the rallies next year. Michael Saunders will be our Rally Programming Director for at least 2010, and I can assure you that he will be planning a full schedule with morning, afternoon, and evening activities for all ages. You won't want to miss any of these weekends. So, please plan to come to as many as you can and I know God will bless you.

One last note, at our Fall Rally we discussed how our septic system for the
house with six guestrooms and the caretaker's apartment has failed. It will
cost about $8,000 (estimated costs are now $18,000) to replace it. On Sunday morning we mentioned this need to the folks in attendance, and they graciously pledged $6,000 towards the project. Please consider sending a donation of any size to help support this project, and other projects such as extending the heat in the caretaker's apartment or replacing the two chimneys that are crumbling. Our weekend rallies normally cover the expenses of the weekend, but they do not cover repairs such as these. Your donations to the Building Fund enable us to keep Harbinger in good repair so that the ministry can continue on. Please help us in any way you can.

Thank you, God bless, and watch for future eMail newsletters to come out closer to Christmas and throughout the year on a more regular basis.

In His Service,
Jeff Gilman
President
