Autumn at Camp
Couples' Retreat 2010
Saturday morning there was frost outdoors and so a hot cup of coffee was not only an eye-opener, but was a warm treat.
Three chapel messages were enjoyed in the chapel.
Speaker Todd Sivnksty and his wife, Krista
Several enjoyed a game of Disc Golf on a beautiful fall afternoon at camp...

Ohio Bible Mission announces full-time Program Director
At the recent Ohio Bible Fellowship Conference, the Ohio Bible Mission announced the acceptance of Mr. Izaac VanderSchel as OBM Program Director for Peniel Bible Camp. We look forward to the opportunities Izaac's full-time efforts will afford.
Most people will recognize Izaac as the summer Program Director of the OBF camping program for the past nine years while serving on the faculty of Fayette Christian School. His new position will enhance the OBF camping program through year-round planning and support for our weekend retreats.
It will increase the options available for all churches and Christian schools that rent the camp, enabling them to have a program director. Along with program development, he will look to consistently present the opportunities of Peniel in our churches.
Our camp facilities have been constantly expanding, with only temporary increases in our maintenance personnel. Having a second family on site will be an aid and backup for the maintenance and operation functions of the Camp Superintendent, Jerry Edinger.
To fulfill this responsibility, Izaac will need support of $1500-$2000 per month from our camp churches. Over the next six months he will be contacting churches to schedule meetings where he can present his burden and vision for the work. The desire is to see support available by then, so they can begin fulltime by the end of next summer. If you are interested in contacting him directly to schedule a meeting you can do so at pdirector@obf.net.
We are thankful for the VanderSchels contributions to the ministry at Peniel and look forward to how the Lord will use them in the future. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
For His glory,
Donald Gallion
President, Ohio Bible Mission
