Oklahomas Horseshoe Canyon Camp Firefall OKLAHOMA is OK

So states every auto license tag in our fair state. This is true also of our conference. God has greatly blessed our past endeavors and we look forward to the greater blessings promised for the days before us. Every department is showing progress. This is due to dedicated departmental secretaries and hard-working pastors. The contribution of these individuals, combined with our consecrated members, is culminating in the supreme joy of loving Christians — souls buried with Christ in baptism. MISSION ’73 is on the move in our field, also. The unity that this witnessing program brings to the church will surely usher in the Latter Rain power to finish the task quickly.

C. W. Skantz We, in Oklahoma, join with the rest of our neighboring conferences in a President dedication to unite together and finish the work, hastening our Lord’s return. C. W. Skantz, President.

THE COVER There is a hush of expectancy among the group waiting in the darkness. Then a signal is given for the shout. “ Is the fire ready?” Again it is quiet as the campers strain to hear the call of a single voice from the cliffs above. “The fire is ready.” The shout arising from the valley grows even stronger. “ Let the fire fall.” Fiery logs and burning embers rush together over the edge of the cliff, then, colliding with the canyon wall, burst into a million glowing sparks that dance lightly to the earth or vanish in mid-air. The black night is lighted with a red-orange glow that silhouettes the scraggly, dead tree perched on the bluff. Warmth radiates to the observers and the smell of campfire fills the air. “ Oooh! Ahhh!” murmur the campers as cascade after cascade of brilliant fireworks explode before them then drop behind the curtain of willows and go sizzling into the pool of water at the foot of the cliff. After the last spark has died, the voice from the cliff asks, “ What’s the greatest camp in all the world?” Resoundingly the answer rises, “ Horseshoe Canyon Camp!”

Photo of the firefall at Oklahoma Conference's Horseshoe Canyon Camp was taken by Brady Rusk of Keene, Texas.
