1. Fellowship - It is awesome to just stand around in the back of the Tabernacle and
fellowship with old friends and meet new friends.
2. Sharing ideas – I always enjoy listening to other pastors and ministers share ideas they
have tried in their local church or in their ministry. If I leave a meeting with one good
idea, I feel the meeting has been a success.
3. Coaching and mentoring – There is nothing like sitting down with a seasoned minister
and pouring your heart out to him, asking him how he handled different situations when
he was a pastor, or asking him to give you some pointers on how your ministry can be
more effective. I have always had several seasoned ministers in my life that I asked to
hold me accountable and to mentor me. Our desire should be more than just being a
lecturer, but to also be taught the skills of discipleship.
4. The Retired Ministers – I love sitting around with the retired ministers and listening to the
stories of old (especially those ministers with a great sense of humor). I love listening to
their struggles and how God brought victory. I love church history, hearing how God
developed Pentecost in a State, and the men and women who blazed the trails.
5. The Young People – I love watching the leaders of tomorrow develop their skills on stage
in a state setting. I love watching a young Christian lady blush when a handsome young
man walks by or a young man stutter when introducing himself to a beautiful young lady
at camp meeting. I love watching young people fall in love with their Pentecostal
heritage.
6. The WORD – As a pastor I loved returning to my church with all kinds of preaching
nuggets I got at camp meeting while listening to the preacher preach. And when my
members would say, “they ought to let you preach that at camp meeting.” I would just
look at them and smile.
7. The Worship - Oh, how I love worshipping with my brothers and sisters in the Lord at
camp meeting. There are few things as enjoyable as complaining that the music is too
loud, too low, too long, too old, or too new. And why do the same old people get to sing
all the time? Oh, I love it, I love it, I love it!
8. Letting Off Some Steam – complaining about the State Overseer, or the “young bucks
trying to take over,” or the “old men not relinquishing the baton”, and declaring how all the
church’s problems could be solved if everyone just listened to me, then standing on one
soap box and declaring how we’re dropping the standard of holiness and jumping on
another and preaching we’re too legalistic.
9. Seeing My Friends - Some whom I may not have seen since last camp meeting.
10. Going out to eat after church – Laughing, eating, and relaxing!
11. Catching up on the news – Camp meeting is a great time to catch up on the news from
across the state and to learn about what is taking place in the lives others.
12. Going out to eat again – Laughing, eating, and relaxing some more!

Youth & Discipleship Department
Matthew Propes, Director
Jennifer Propes, Girls Ministries Coordinator
I’m so thankful to see what is taking place in Youth and Discipleship ministries in Kentucky. We recently
conducted our biennial Teen Talent Festival, with 179 entries of teenagers across Kentucky displaying
their God-given talents. Our State winners and runners-up will represent you this August at the
International Teen Talent Festival in Cleveland, Tennessee. Please be in prayer for their safety as they
prepare to minister. As this edition of Update goes to print, Girls Blast 2015 will be upon us. We are
looking forward to a great day! And KYC2015 #truth is right around the corner. Please be in prayer for
these weeks of Camp. I believe God is going to do something great. If we can be of assistance to you in
any way, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
In Christ’s Service,

2015 Girls On A Mission
M.E.T.C.
Are you looking to start a girls ministries program at your church? A great
place to start is by enrolling in the Mentor Enrichment Training Course
(METC)
This manual is an excellent self-study course for all mentors (counselors),
though not required. The METC program will assist with some of the
unique challenges that ministry to girls presents. This manual consists of
six sections titled:
A Girls Club Mentor…Models
A Girls Club Mentor…Mentors
A Girls Club Mentor…Motivates
A Girls Club Mentor…Maintains
A Girls Club Mentor…Monitors
A Girls Club Mentor…Ministers
The METC program contains a Bible study, scripture worksheets, and current information to train our Girls Clubs leaders. Each notebook will serve
as an excellent resource guide for mentors. This manual continues to include vital church and club histories, as well as age group characteristics.
All four clubs will use the same training course, preparing mentors for
working with any group. The manual, also available in Spanish, is $20 and
can be ordered from Pathway Press online or by calling 1-800-553-8506.
ADVERTISE YOUR CHURCH IN OUR CAMPMEETING PROGRAM
The Kentucky Camp Meeting is fast approaching! Plans are in the final stages for this years event.
This year our theme is “Thy Kingdom Come”. Last year we allowed our churches to advertise in our
Camp Meeting Program. It was such a success, we would like to extend that invitation in our 2015
Program. The following price list will assist you in determining the size advertisement that you and
your church would like to place in the program.
Full Page:
$250.00
Half Page
$125.00
Quarter Page:
$ 75.00
Business Card:
$ 40.00
All advertisements, regardless of size, must be submitted camera-ready. Preferable format is a
completed ad in jpeg e-mailed in high resolution format to Wanda Rabon at [email protected].

T
he State Conference Hall was filled with excitement
on March 28th for the "Kentucky Senior Adult Day of
Worship,"
The event was officially called "The Hebron Reunion."
Today, Hebron is the world's oldest Jewish Community.
Joshua assigned Hebron to Caleb for him to conquer and
settle as a Jewish city in the territory of the Tribe of Judah.
Forty-five years earlier after spying the land and giving a
good report, Caleb was promised Hebron. So, at the age of
eighty-five when offered an easier task, standing at the
foot of the mountain Caleb said, "Give me this mountain!"
On this March weekend
