VISION FOR-- A FUTURE TO BUILD

By Lloyd Hjelle,
Board Representative

What an exciting time to be a part of The Wilderness Fellowship Ministries! There is no doubt that this is a time to move ahead. As a member of the TWFM Board of Directors, I am more enthusiastic than ever about the potential of this place.

With the Fellowship Center completed I see a central gathering place for youth retreats, family gatherings and reunions, adult meetings, prayer groups, seminars, worship, receptions and even weddings. Groups using the facilities will find that the kitchen, bathrooms, sitting areas with fireplaces and decks will make their stay at the Wilderness more comfortable and enjoyable. As a catalyst for the growth and utilization of the rest of the facilities, the Fellowship Center will play a vital role.

I also see a bustling group of campers using the larger buildings for eating, sleeping, interacting and just having a good time. Activities which include Bible study, worship, prayer and serious conversation, set apart from the usual surroundings of home and church will spiritually impact youth and adults alike.

I envision an eventual group of 8-10 prayer cabins meeting the spiritual and rest needs of individuals and couples seeking intimacy with God and their loved ones. The additional cabins will be in as much demand as the present ones, booked almost every night of the week. An expanded ministry of prayer and spiritual direction would meet even more needs for the additional people using the facilities.

More people using the Wilderness facilities would not only impact more lives, but would necessarily bring more income to the organization. With more income, staff could be increased to take care of the precious resources of property and meet the program needs of the Wilderness guests, and grow TWFM into all that God has for it.

What an exciting time this is. I invite you to come and enjoy the presence of the Lord at TWFM.
