CFO INTERNATIONAL BOARD MEETING AND INDIA TOUR: OCTOBER 1-18, 2019: It’s official!!! The 2019 CFOI Board Meeting will take place in Dehra Dun, India! This is going to be an exciting event that will include not only the board meeting, but CFOI Training, a three-day Regional CFO Camp, and, for those who choose to go, a two-week tour of India that will include a generous handful of cities and sites including Jaipur (The Pink City), Taj Mahal, and Delhi. Faith Holidays is helping CFOI plan this journey. This trip is OPEN TO ANY CFO’ers THAT WISH TO GO. If we have enough people, the airfare and other costs will be quite reasonable… and the tour bus will be comfortable! Contact cfoicoordinator@gmail.com for full itinerary and estimated costs. If this is a journey you feel the Holy Spirit nudging you to take, now is the time to start preparing. The National Council Ring in India has already begun praying and awaits what God has in store! Our website has some info as well that will be updated periodically. (Photo: First CFO in India, clockwise: Creatives, Glenn and Co., Rhythms, Taj Mahal)
THE CFO CLASSICS LIBRARY: Do you ever wish you could hear what CFO speakers from the past had to say? Do you regret throwing out old CFO talk tapes or CDs? Or do you need a spiritual ‘shot in the arm’ every once in a while and a CFO talk would be just the thing? Look no further… or, rather, listen! The CFO Classics Library is here.
Long time CFO’ers, Matt and Helen Leach, and their son Michael, have created a wonderful website featuring digital recordings of classic CFO talks from Glenn Clark, Starr Daily, Frank Laubach, Agnes Sanford, Evelyn Carter, Louise Eggleston, Tommy and Earl Tyson, and many more. If you have a computer and/or smart phone… (maybe you have a long commute), you will appreciate this archive. The story of The CFO Classics Library (which began as a cassette tape ministry), is a powerful testament to God’s abundance and provision. You can read Matt’s account of that story here as well as explore the CFO Classics Library website. It’s a treasure trove of rich, spiritual teaching.
CFO International wishes to thank Matt, Helen, and Michael, for all they have done for The Camp Farthest Out Movement for over thirty years. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit and keeping up with the changing technology so that CFO’ers and others around the globe can continue to access these wonderful recordings. We love you, Matt, Helen and Michael!
CFO ETERNAL: We sing “Let go and let God”, as we continually seek to abandon our fears and fall into the loving arms of our creator; falling into the flow of that which God is already doing. It’s a discipline and a practice. It’s the reason the CFO Daily Program never ceases to inspire us for it teaches us to tune in and truly experience those mercies that are indeed new every morning. One day, we will let go and pass into the loving arms of God. “Peace! Fear not, for I am with you,” says our loving Lord, Jesus, as we walk that wonderful way.
In the month of November, we take time to remember those CFO’ers who have passed into glory. People with whom we have shared this Farthest Out way… singing, dancing, creating, praying… Perhaps they invited us to CFO. Perhaps we only saw them at CFO. Perhaps we knew them well. Perhaps we shared only one or two prayer groups with them.
CFO International will list names of departed CFO loved ones on the CFO ETERNAL page, a permanent addition to our website. Please send names, home camp, and country/region of those you’d like to remember to cfoicoordinator@gmail.com. Donations in memory of CFO’ers are always welcome, and never required.
CFO INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT: All support for CFOI comes from donations. Thank you for your continued giving to CFOI. If you haven’t had a chance to try giving with a credit card you can do so by using the DONATE button at our website. It’s really easy and if everyone on this mailing list could give $25.00, CFOI will end the year in a strong place. Please ask the Holy Spirit what you should give. It is the testimony of CFOI that ALL GIFTS are blessed by our God and used mightily!
THE ALL-CAMP PHOTO: Many camps around the globe like to take all-camp photos and in the age of the internet and social networking, those photos are enjoyed by the entire belt of prayer! Send camp photos to cfoicoordinator@gmail.com or post them to our Facebook page, Camps Farthest Out International! Here are some from Acadia CFO (Maine, USA), Aaron Camp (Philippines), and Taiwan CFO!
“We three are on a trip to build a belt of prayer around the world, and the chief purpose of that journey is not to see the outside of things, but to find the inner spirit of every country we visit… I feel deeply that I am looking through your open faces into the inner sanctuary of your hearts.” – Glenn Clark, from a talk given in New Delhi, India
