Report of the Board of Directors, Pinebrook Bible Conference
God has entrusted the Bible Fellowship Church with the responsibility of the ministry of the Pinebrook Bible Conference. The Bible Fellowship Church has entrusted me with the privilege and opportunity of making Pinebrook Bible Conference a place of evangelism, discipleship training and Christian fellowship. I have learned in my first year as director that many exciting, thrilling and life-changing experiences take place here during our summer conference and also during the retreat season. Over 12,000 children, teens and adults have been ministered to during this past year.
This has been a year of major improvements to our facilities. Nearly every guest who came on our grounds this spring, summer and fall, voiced appreciation of the beauty of the grounds and buildings. A new modular 24′ x 44′ home has been constructed to house the permanent staff. Presently, I am living there with my wife. All of this was accomplished through the diligent work and labor of our staff and the help of many hundred hours of donated labor. A special event was our Work Week when many folks came and gave us a great help in some major projects.
A special thank you to those who have committed itself to be a “Friend of Pinebrook.” We appreciate and need your prayers. We are also grateful to those who made special gifts and to those who have pledged monthly support.
The Pinebrook Bible Conference board has committed themselves to fiscal responsibility. We are operating under a budget and have hired an experienced bookkeeper to both set-up and maintain an accurate accounting of our finances. The board has resolved to begin reporting its finances on a calendar year. The following report is for six months, July 1, 1989 thru December 31, 1989. These six months cover a period of low income and were administered by three different directors.
I thank God for a dedicated permanent staff and for a great Junior staff during the summer. Our Jr. staff totaled 38 high school and college young people.
Respectfully Submitted
