It’s Monday Again
Kathy Jeffries (Head of Millstream) celebrated two baptisms yesterday in the pool pictured above.
Lisa Graden (Crystal) baptized a lady down at Crystal Creek yesterday. Lisa reports, “We also have two youth who are going through membership training and will become student members soon and we have had two people in the congregation who have prayed for entire sanctification. Good to see all that God is doing to move in the lives of our people!”
The second Family Camp Weekend of the summer concludes today on Caton’s Island. This continues to be a popular offering and the total number of families for both weekends (including Canada Day) exceeded 70 with more than 320 campers.
Joel Bridges (Trinity) served as Camp Speaker and is pictured above right with his wife Kia. Family programing for all ages with a relaxed schedule and beautiful weather was a recipe for an incredible experience.
2019 Beulah Family Camp (BFC) sermon videos are now available online. The Ordination Service was one of the highlights of BFC this year as we celebrated a first-ever in our ministerial tribe – honouring a 70-year Ordained Minister, Arnold Stairs. This was in addition to two 50-year ( Wayne Blinn & Wayne Briggs) and two 60-year (John McElhinney & Fred Whittey) Ordained Ministers.
2020 Beulah Family Camp (July 3-12) Evangelists are Joanne Solis-Walker and Mick Veach.
Rev. Dr. Joanne Solis-Walker is an ordained minister of The Wesleyan Church. She has a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership and Development with an emphasis on Ecclesial Leadership.
Her entrepreneurial experience covers a wide range of innovative opportunities in a variety of professional fields. Joanne is one of the Founders of CaminoRoad, a development company focused on leadership, culture, and praxis.

Rev. Mick Veach has served as a Global Partners’ Area Director for Central Asia and the Middle East, he has presented the Gospel in more than 75 countries, been the Lead Pastor of a large thriving suburban church and currently is pastoring a church plant in the heart of Detroit, Mosaic Midtown.
Whether smuggling Bibles, feeding lepers or working/living amongst a Muslim people group as a Humanitarian Pastor, Mick Veach’s commitment to share the love of God with the lost has taken him to the ends of the earth.
Mick’s desire is and always has been to see God’s truth compel others to Great Commission action and to foster healthy local churches that engage in evangelism and discipleship. He and his wife, Melanie, have three children and love living in the historic Bostin-Edison Neighborhood of Detroit.
Hope (Joanne Ozon) congregation gathered around their pastor yesterday morning for a powerful time of intercession for her healing. Thank you for your continued prayers for Joanne as she is scheduled for surgery tomorrow on August 6th to remove a stage one cancerous tumor from her spine. #strongertogether
Kingswood University is delighted to announce the successful launch of its Haiti Initiative. This program allows for a select group of young adults from the Wesleyan Church of Haiti to attend Kingswood University and complete a Bachelors degree. The students, who were selected by Global Partners missionaries, Carl and Maya Gilles, have committed to return to Haiti upon graduation.
The three students in this inaugural year are Dinalthero Charles and Merline Desrameaux (pictured below with recent KU alumnus, Luciano Latouche) and Lafrance Jasmin. They join current Haitian student, Ruth Octavius.
Kingswood will provide a scholarship which completely covers the students’ tuition. Their living expenses are provided by generous donors. Anyone interested in learning more should contact President Lennox at president@kingswood.edu. #globalcollective

- God’s dreams are better than ours because He loves lost people more than we do. (Gary Rohrmayer)
- God is totally in charge. Mission is His will and bill. (Windel Benjamin)
- But in this world everything is upside down. That which, if it could be prolonged here, would be a truancy, is likest that which in a better country is the End of ends. Joy is the serious business of heaven. (C. S. Lewis via Anne Medders delivery of Georgina Hayes Eulogy)
