Aaron & Emily Ahlquist: Lost Timber Bible CampAaron and Emily Ahlquist, along with their family, Emma, Tessa, Boaz and Max, have served as Executive Director and Registrar/Guest Services at Lost Timber since 2014. Both Aaron and Emily grew up going to Lost Timber as campers and started serving as soon as they were old enough. They dreamed of living full time at camp when they retired. Then God called them into very early "retirement", and they love living and working at camp full time now. They have started homeschooling their kids and the kids help out in projects and cleaning around camp as well. As a family, they can't imagine a better place to grow and learn together!
Clear Waters Life Center: Mustard Seed Homes | CWLC NewsletterIn 2004 a handful of individuals from multiple church backgrounds, with a common belief in a living God, heard the call to do something with a closed school building in Clearbrook, MN. Four years, a youth center, chemical dependency group meetings, counseling services, and numerous other programs later, Mustard Seed Homes was birthed. Isaiah 42:22-23 says, “This is a people robbed and plundered, hidden away in caves and prison houses. They have become a prey with no one to say, “Restore!” Who among you will give ear to this? Who will give heed in the time to come?” With those words ringing in our ears we endeavored to build a program that would restore the whole person. MSH is a one year residential program for adult males. We incorporate discipleship into the daily classes, chemical dependency and mental health support groups and vocational and life skills training. For more information about the MSH program go to mustardseedhomes.org
