Beulah Family Camp Planning Underway (July 8-16)

Kelly Jay & I met this week with Andrea Summers & Moe Diggs to begin planning our services for Beulah Family Camp (July 8-16)! Our two Camp Evangelists will both be there for the entire week and will alternate services. Rev. Moe Diggs, Lead Pastor of The Healing Place, is no stranger to us as this will be his third summer at BFC. Welcome back, Moe, always good to have you home!

Rev. Dr. Andrea Summers has served as the Campus Pastor & Dean of Spiritual Formation @ Indiana Wesleyan University since 2020. CLICK HERE for more information about Andrea’s journey in Kingdom leadership. This will be her first time ever at Beulah – welcome Andrea! And to add to the excitement, both evangelists are bringing their families with them!

Stay tuned for more details about Beulah Family Camp in the weeks ahead!

Dale MacDonald (Woodstock) chaired the DBMD on Wednesday with 15 interviews of prophet(s/esses)-in-process.

Jesus will not override our will. Do you want to get well? (Brent Ingersoll) #john5
As the world becomes more secular, the Church will become more peculiar. But peculiar doesn’t mean we need to step away from the marketplace. We need to step into that secular marketplace – showing and serving the love of Jesus – and equipping people to be effective. (Ed Stetzer)
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life’s problems fall into place of their own accord. (J. I. Packer)

One Con – June 2-3, 2023 @ Moncton Coliseum

ONE Conference has always been a movement seeking to align the youth of Atlantic Canada with the heart of God. As revival spreads and Gen Z are increasingly called into a deeper relationship with Jesus, the timing of this gathering has never been more important. We are so excited to return to the Moncton Coliseum for 2023, and to be able to get everyone in ONE space, as ONE church, worshipping ONE God.
