Calling Royal Rangers Commanders!

Date: June 8, 2010
Time: 11:00 am CDT
Topic: Discipleship


An intense battle is raging for the hearts and minds of America's 33 million teenagers. Statistics tell us that only 4 % of the next generation will be Christian when they reach adulthood.

Boys are especially struggling in today's society. Studies show that boys who grow up in fatherless homes are more prone to poor academic performance, drug and alcohol abues, mental illness, and suicide. But there is hope. Across the nation, IPHC men and women are impacting young peoples' lives through discipleship. In the June webcast, Discipleship Ministries will show you how two IPHC ministries have made a lasting impact on teen lives.

If you are a children's pastor, youth pastor, Royal Rangers commander, or parent, this CAST is for you! You'll be inspired and challenged by the stories you'll hear on June 8.
Plan now to join us for this exciting edition of CAST!

The Appalachian Conference hosted its 17th Annual Winter Campout on February 19-21. The main event of this camp every year is the Sled Race.

Along the way they are tested the a variety of skills including but not limited to Tool Craft, Bible, and Rope Craft. This year the race was organized by Commander Jerry Overstreet.

Smoke from the Fire of Iron Eagle

fcf.jpg (65871 bytes) Greeting to all, It is a great Privilege for me to bring to you this last report of my last year as your FCF President
Most of our activites were focused on the National Redezvous "Living Waters" which was held and Camp Freedom, Falcon, NC, September 2009.
I was able to get out four mailing to advertize the camp, containg all registration forms, wht infromation of cut-off date for early registrations.
Commander Brent Chitwood helped me in designing the patch, adn with the patch I designed the medallion. All this was givent to Commander David Moore and held until we ot and idea of the size of the registration, As we didn't want to over order.
All the rest is truly a miracle as Gob put it together. Rev. Talmadge Gardener and Rev. Bill Terry pledged to sponsor the awards for the events in the amounts of $300.00 each from Men's Ministries and RDC, CE. Dept.
When the registration started coming I was getting discouraged. By the cut-off date we only had 15-18. There were two things playing an important factor in this:

A. The Economy
B. The date of the Rendezvous

I had set a goal for 100 attendees but I could see that I might even get 50. After the cut-off Date the registrations started to trickle in. At the last moment Commander David put an order in for the shirts, patches and medallions. At the start of the camp only the patches were in hand. Commander David drove to get the shirst from camp and then another miracle the medallions arrived at the post office on Saturday of camp. God was at work in the whole event. At the end of the camp we had 75 registration and campers on the ground.
We had arrived on Wednesday to start setting up the camp, and that night we had about 3" of rainfall. A lot of stuff got wet. That night I got into my tent and to bed when the rain started to come through the canvas. I moved to another tent, it too started to leak so I moved to my truck the and slept the rest of the night in the cab.
The rest fo the time there was excellent weather. Saturday morning it was overcast but the sun broke through giving us just enough time to take the group photograph; then the sun didn't shine through the rest of the camp. Another Miracle.
The services were right on target. Rev. Bill Terry started on Thursday night and spoke to the text of John 7:38 on "Living Water". Friday morning the devotion was on "Jesus at the well of Sychar". Then Friday evening Rev. Randall Strickland spoke on the "Empty Bucket and the Broken Dipper"; and there was a wonderful after-service. Saturday morning devotion was on "Waters in Ezekiel 47" - waters enough to swim in. Saturday evening Rev. Charles Boyd spoke on the "River of Life" in Revelations. They were all wonderful services and I think all were blessed.
It has been a privilege to serve with you these past four years. My sincere thanks to all here for your help and I covet your prayers for my complete healing.
