Reignite the “Upward Look”

Did you know that in big cities you can keep safe just by looking down at the sidewalk and not making eye contact with any of the passersby? Your eyes are the first form of engagement and it’s not safe to engage with strangers in big cities. The locals all know this, and as you walk it’s quite obvious who is local. They all have downcast eyes; avoiding eye contact is a big city skill. They all know how to keep safe, so they are looking at their feet or phone.

With the advent of cell phones “keeping safe” just got to be global. It’s easy to look at your phone as you walk and shut out that “unsafe” eye contact. All those delicious apps on your phone. Google will tell you exactly where you are, and where you are going. Siri also knows everything, and will talk you through it, to it, or take notes. Facebook will tell you all about your friends, and what’s trending, altogether wonderful, entertainment as you walk. But at what expense?

If you’d lifted your gaze you would have seen the little boy huddled in the doorway with no coat in the freezing weather. If you’d lifted your gaze you would have seen the hungry guy rummaging through the garbage. If you’d lifted your gaze you would have seen the watery sunset, the spring blossoms on the trees, the old couple helping each other down the road. If you’d lifted your gaze your heart would have stirred with compassion and you might have been moved to do something kind. How safe is that?

The Upward Look is a lost art lately. Eyes talk but no heart seems to be listening.

Did you know that you can read people? A picture is worth a thousand words. That means your eyes can speed read when you look at others. And what you see is relative. This old world is a great big book of millions of stories. All with endings still to be written. And each one of us has the ability to rewrite any ending we chose, for whomever we chose. We need to learn to look around us and “Restore the Vision.” The Vision of Heaven as our intended home. The Vision of Ministering as our intended role. The Vision of being a Heavenly Family on a grueling journey toward Home. And our Mission? To help every one of our brothers and sisters get there. Not one should be lost.

Each Sabbath, as our Family gathers, we should cast our eyes about and “read some people.” Whose story can you help change to be happy? Whose story can you help change to quell hunger? Whose story can you relieve from burdens, or tears, or worry ….. Can you “Restore the Vision, Restore the Mission” by being a better disciple, husband, father, wife, mother, friend ….? Let’s reignite the “Upward Look”…. for our redemption draweth nigh!

Featured Speakers at the

122nd Annual Florida Camp Meeting Seminars

The Following Seminars Were Presented:

Richard Barron

It’s Prayer Time!

If God has the power to change a situation, then why doesn’t He? If He’s so all-powerful and loving, then why doesn’t He answer our prayers?

Phil Bond

Estate Planning Basics: Protection Planning for Your Children

Learn about everything from Last Wills to Living Wills and how they protect you and your family. Also, find out how you can protect your minor children if the unthinkable were to happen

Don Bovell, Ann Burnett, & Grace Daley

Freedom to Serve

Don, Ann, and Grace operate FreeD.O.M. Clinic USA in Ocala, Florida, to address the growing need for dental, optical, and medical care to the indigent, uninsured, and underinsured in America.

Jo Ann Davidson Ph.D.

Sabbath: Day of Delight

Jesus set aside a special day in which we can delight: Sabbath—the day He sanctified and hallowed as a day of rest. This seminar series will look closely at many facets of the Sabbath with the goal of learning to treasure the Sabbath as a divine gift and not just a requirement.

Annie Pérez Ph.D.

Effective Communication—Improve your skills to communicate more effectively in serving your home, community, and church.

How to Work with Difficult People—Gain skills to deal with personalities who make it difficult to work in a team setting by applying “carefrontation.”

Healing Wounds: The Art of Conflict Resolution—Learn principles of healing and forgiveness that build healthy relationships without regrets and resentment.

Curbing Behavior—Learn how to implement discipline with children, ages 9–18, that involves modeling character, teaching self-control, and acceptable behavior.

Edwin Reynolds Ph.D.

The Seven Seals and the 144,000—Explore the covenant language in the seven seals and the symbolism of the 144,000 and its relation to the great multitude in the same chapter.

The Seven Trumpets and the Angel with the Little Scroll—Learn the nature and purpose of the seven trumpets with attention to the sixth trumpet and the related vision of the Angel with the little scroll. What is implied by the final instruction to John that he must prophesy again before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings?

The Seven Last Plagues and a Biblical View of Armageddon—This presentation will address the stated purpose and the timing of the seven last plagues and will carefully investigate the language of the sixth plague, which is often referred to as the battle of Armageddon.

Identifying the Great City in the Book of Revelation—This presentation seeks to draw on language throughout the book of Revelation which refers to “the great city,” as opposed to “the holy city,” in an attempt to understand the nature of the great city and more accurately identify what the city represents in the book.

Yvette Willis

We Are Family: Exposing the Challenges Families Face Today

It Starts With Us/It Starts With Prayer—Philippians 1:21: In a world of over-extended schedules, amoral messages, and incessant peer pressure, how do you, your children, and family follow God’s will, not the world?

Living From the Inside Out Rather than Outside In—2 Corinthians 3:12–18: Being a transparent Christian is imperative, but how do we live so that the world can see Jesus Christ living in and through us.

Let’s Do This!—Colossians 3:17 & Colossians 3:23–24: We must recognize that God’s primary will for our lives is not what we do or where we live; it’s who we become—people of excellent character and divine love.

What Our Guests Say…

A place to go away from all the huste an bustle. The staff is good.

– Andrea Elliott

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my weekend at Camp Kulaqua was. The beauty of nature – the rolling green lawns, the trees, the stars at night, the sound of birds chirping instead of traffic. You have to experience the peaceful, quiet, tranquil, rustic beauty of the place for yourself. The lodgings were clean, with a beautiful view of springs, trees, and grass out the windows. They have a large herd of horses of all sizes – ensuring the option of horse back rides for everyone. There is a zoo for those who love animals. Your spirit will be filled, fed, and renewed as you leave your daily cares behind and spend time away with God. I can’t wait to go back!

– Kathy Keller

FUE UNA EXPERIENCIA INOLVIDABLE, UN LUGAR EXPECTACULAR. ….SE LOS RECOMIENDO.

– Barbara Fernandez

Women’s Ministry Retreat In High Springs Florida 2016

“TOTAL PRAISE”

Think you DON’T need to go to
Women’s Ministries Retreat?
Think Again!

Alone is a very small world. We seem to have lost the art of friendship. Lost the art of conversation. Lost the art of hugging. Lost so many physical and mental ways of communicating with one another that if our phone was taken from us – well, you get the picture.

Come join us at this year’s Women’s Ministry Retreat where you don’t need a phone for prayer, don’t need a phone for praise, and you don’t need a phone to reach out and touch someone. The clichés of the world have all but destroyed our understanding of being “at one”. Our faith tells us to “press together”. “Where two or more are gathered …” “They came together …..” “God with us….” “O, Come All Ye Faithful”, but we have become islands, faces downcast and texting.

We need change … powerful change. Our hearts need to grow bigger so they can be inclusive, compassionate, understanding, and open to others. Our hands need to be open, helping, giving, hugging, holding. Our eyes need to be searching, understanding, finding, crying tears … of joy, compassion, longing …. for heaven, for home, for peace, for rest, for joy, for reuniting… and we cannot do these things alone.

We need to get together – to be “as one”.

A contradiction in terms, but it is an epidemic need throughout the world. Are we all going to march to Heaven as an army of one? The answer is “no”. We need to get together, praise together, pray together, laugh together, form lifelong bonds with other dear souls who are crying for someone to see them, hear them, and know them. Can we change this sad state of affairs?

The answer is “YES”. And you can start by coming to join us at
“TOTAL PRAISE!”

Total Praise” is a Women’s Ministries Retreat initiative taking place at the Camp Kulaqua Retreat Center, in High Springs, Florida for three weekends from February 12th to 28th, 2016.

Week 1 and Week 2 will be English focused and Week 3 will be Spanish focused. Come to one week or register for all of them!

Not only will you be surrounded with potential friends (and family) but the surroundings are so beautiful that you will find rest and uplifting for your sanity, and peace for your soul. Come and see. Walk the Walk that will bring you here and we will Talk the Talk that will encourage you on your way to Heaven. And … we promise … you will not do this alone.

The hardworking organizers of this “TOTAL PRAISE” event are providing many things for you to enjoy as you forge everlasting friendships at Camp Kaluqua. There will be great food available, great group fellowship, and great speakers.
