http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-camp-bulletin 1/10



Greetings! And a warm welcome to Se

Breeze Camp 2015. We are so delighte

you chose to spend some time with u

here on these grounds where Hobe Sound

Bible Church, Hobe Sound Bible College

and FEA/HIM converge and share.

For 68 years, the theme of Sea Breez

Camp has been revival. If you listen

closely as you walk this campus, you

might hear the long-silent voice of ou

founder, H. Robb French, calling us to prayer, obedience, sacri

fice, humility of attitude, and fervency of spirit in seeking afte

God's blessing. We invite you to join us as we unite our voice

and hearts together in singing and praising, in fasting and pray

ing, in fellowship and reconciliation, in faith and determination

until God comes and rains righteousness upon us.

Also we welcome several hundred Hispanic brothers and sister

during the first weekend of Sea Breeze Camp. The Spanish language services serve as an avenue of spiritual refreshing to those

who gather.

Our youth meetings bring spiritual strengthening to our young

people, while the children receive their own instruction in daily

sessions.

On the platform we seek to honor the ministry of the Holy Spiri

in our midst. Please join us in singing, praying, praising, giving

and quick obedience to the voice of God. Let's believe God fo

a gracious outpouring of the Spirit during the 2015 encampment

Leonard Sankey, Sea Breeze Camp Platform Chairman

Sea Breeze Community exists as the rea

estate arm of FEA Ministries partnering to

meet the needs of the Hobe Sound Minis

tries and campus residents.

Our purpose for existing is: To preserve

calm, caring, Christian environment fo

the entire family; to provide comparative

ly affordable housing for retired Christian

workers, ministry workers, and students

to administrate facilities and work in

partnership with all three ministries to

help them achieve their purpose; and to reflect an atmosphere o

harmony, service, and social accountability before a watchingworld.

Building on the foundation laid by our predecessors, we want to

continue to grow a caring, Christian community where peopl

can live in harmony and serve a needy world. One of the origi

nal purposes of SBC was to house the annual Sea Breeze Camp

Meeting. Through the years the three ministries have worked

together to create a place where you can come and find spiritua

renewal. Again this year, it is our delight to welcome you to

South Florida, and we hope you will leave this camp meeting

with a renewed heart and vision to go into all the world and

make disciples.

Jon Tofte, Director of Sea Breeze Community

Welcome to Sea Breeze Camp 2015!

Welcome

Camp meeting is a RALLYING point for

people of “like-faith.” It is a time where

God’s people can, “…ascend into the hill of

the LORD, or…stand in his holy place.” (Psalm 24:3)

Once again we extend to you a warm and

hospitable welcome to the campus of Hobe

Sound Ministries and to the 68 th annual Sea

Breeze Camp Meeting!

Several years ago, I asked G. R. French, beloved mentor and for-

mer president of FEA Ministries, to share his perspective on camp

meeting. Below is an excerpt from the article he wrote:

God’s people often need inspiration, new vision, fel-

lowship, and challenge to a deeper and higher walk

with God. The average church in America will have

approximately 40 people in their pews next Sunday

morning. There are thousands of these small churches

across the land. Small churches are not to be des-

pised. They often develop more character, talent, and

leadership than large churches. With only 30-40 peo-

ple, everybody who has any degree of leadership, has

a chance to teach, testify, discuss questions with the

pastor, lead a small group, preside over a service, plan

meetings, etc. As a result, the percentage of pastors,

missionaries, and other Christian workers raised up

and sent out, is often greater than in larger churches.

However, small churches often have certain weakness-

es. People tend to become discouraged, lose the larger

vision, or become satisfied with the status quo. Campmeeting is part of the solution for these weaknesses.

Many people who attend Sea Breeze Camp Meeting

have exclaimed, “I have never seen so many people of

“like- precious-faith together before!” They hear mis-

sionaries from many lands, they listen to beautiful

choirs and orchestras, they hear powerful messages,

and they see God working mightily among young and

old. They are reminded that they are part of something

much bigger than their small church - they are part of

the Kingdom of God which is making an impact

around the world.

Attending camp could literally transform our perspective of thefact that “God Is Doing a New Thing ” at home and abroad. We get

glimpses of this as we become collectively engulfed by the trans-

formational presence of Almighty God.

Our faithful praying, attending, giving, and responding to whatev-

er God may ask of us could well be the springboard God chooses

to bring about the personal and collective revival with which He

desires to bless His people. Would you join me and the Sea Breeze

Camp family by committing to making this camp a personal spir-

itual oasis? Let us pray obediently, earnestly, and expectantly by

anticipating God to do a new thing for us in this 2015 camp meet-

ing!

God is at work; and regardless of theonslaught of the spirit of anti-Christian

sentiments, His truth is marching on! It

is a transformational testimony of grace.The book of Hebrews makes this amaz-

ing statement about God’s work in and

through people: “And what shall I more

say? For the time would fail me to

tell….And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not

the promise: God having provided some

better thing for us, that they without us

should not be made perfect.” (Hebrew

11:32, 39-40). We are part of the ongo-

ing fulfillment in what God has begun.Your prayerful giving in 2014 helped in

making it possible.

Below is a brief report that gives us a

glimpse of what has been done over the past twelve months:

Triumphant over Trials!
