Light Bearer s Camp Meeting This year s theme for the Light Bearer s Camp Meeting will be: The Minor Prophets Major Salvation Promises in the Minor Prophets. They are called the Minor Prophets because of their size, not their spiritual depth. Hidden in these little books are found sublime pictures of God s unrelenting love. That s why we plan to plumb their depths to mine rich nuggets of God s golden love that promises to keep our love alive in the coming crisis. We warmly invite you to join Light Bearers and our speakers, Ty Gibson, James Rafferty, David Asscherick, Jeffrey Rosario, Fred Bischoff, Nathan Renner and Risë Rafferty for a Spirit-led journey that promises to build hope, faith and love at our annual convocation July 3-7 in Jasper, Oregon.
