Transformation
BY WAYNE EISBRENNER, CSSM MINISTRIES MANITOBA FIELD DIRECTOR
Dont copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God
transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
Then you will learn to know Gods will for you, which is good and
pleasing and perfect.

Yes! to Jesus
One campers decision to accept salvation
has impacted future generations of followers
The year was 1959. Up near
Flin Flon, Manitoba, young Ken,
the son of a miner, arrived at
Beaver Lake Bible Camp. That
night in chapel, he learned for
the rst time that unless he had a
relationship with Christ, he was
headed for a terrible place called
Hell. When the speaker, Harold
Germaine, a professor from
Prairie Bible Institute, explained
the way of salvation and the
urgency of securing his eternal
destination, Ken was quick to
respond and accept the free gift
Ken continues
to serve Christ in
his grandparenting
role and as he
seeks to mentor
men through
ministries like
Promise Keepers.

Recently I attended the funeral of one of my
favorite uncles. Uncle Pete passed away into
glory after a brief and courageous ght with
bone cancer, and he will be missed. At the
funeral, as I was sitting in the church sanctuary, I allowed my mind to wander back to the
early 1960s, when Uncle Pete was one of the
major builders of the Zion Lutheran Church
in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Now, some fty
years later, we were in this church building
where we, his family and friends, were sharing
a nal good-bye. On the front of the church
hangs a cross that cross had been lovingly
made by Uncle Pete and his craftsmanship
as a nish carpenter is obvious.
During her memorial reections about
Uncle Pete, my cousin made the statement
that there probably wasnt a street in

One of the things that amuse Natalie and me as we travel are signs. Here
are some of our favourites.
If you encounter a funny sign in your journeys, feel free to take a picture
of it and send it to me. Maybe we can publish them in a future edition of this
magazine!
Heres a sign we
spotted just down
the hall from
my Moms room
in the seniors
home. Natalie
was suggesting I
should get a copy
for my office!
