Here's a picture of "The Twelve". Yeah, yeah, I know; there are more than 12. But these are the people who oversee and organize and serve etc. They get added to or taken away from each year as God leads. What a wonderful group of servants. And one of them has actually been here for all of the 40 years!
This was our evangelist, Pastor Larry Levy. I've known Larry for about 12 years. He spoke on The Kingdom and it was excellent teaching.
Here's most of my Prayer 'n Share group. What a wonderful group of ladies (our token man is missing). I facilitated this group, but no one really leads; we all try to share and bless one another.
Here are just a few of the 400+ people that were there. This is the Tuesday evening meeting. There was a family group that led worship; people worship in whatever way feels comfortable to them. God loves it all.
Here are some of the flag bearers and dancers that come every year. I love seeing them.
This picture shows Terry (in yellow). Terry's been there ever since I can remember. He has severe hearing problems and is extremely shy. But he loves to worship. He brings his own instruments and plays along with whomever is doing worship there -- flute, bongos and various percussion instruments. He also loves to find rocks that remind him of little animals; then he "brings" the animal out with his pen and ink.
There are many Christian Ashrams through the US and Canada as well as other parts of the world. I always come back rejuvenated and refreshed and full of revelation and love. It's a wonderful part of my year.
