 |
| What is a Christian Ashram? | The Christian Ashram is one of several movements that has arisen out of a desire to put the power of the early church back into our modern day fellowship. Literally translated the word "Ashram" means "Retreat from hard work" - a time to engage in Christ-centered activities and meditation. All Christian Ashrams are interdenominational and interracial. Titles and other symbols of distinction are set aside that we may worship as true brothers and sisters in Christ under the ministry of an evangelist, Bible study leader, and music team.
|
| What can you expect? | PLUS... inspiring messages enriching Bible teaching faith stories of changed lives great singing and worship small group sharing and prayer |
| Where is it being held? | Beulah Camp is a wonderful church run camp facility on the beautiful Long Reach of the St. John river about one half hour from the city of Saint John. There is plenty of on-site accommodation available and we will also welcome day visitors.
|
| What about youth and children? | They are very welcome! We offer full children's and youth programs and a nursery for the very young during main sessions. |
| Evangelist: The Rev. John Symonds |
We welcome Brother John to the Ashram this year as our Evangelist. Brother John is the Senior Pastor at Corbett Avenue Wesleyan Church, Fredericton, NB. John has been the theme speaker at many retreats and conferences in both Canada and the United States, and will be one of the theme speakers at the "Beulah Week" conference of the Wesleyan Church at Beulah Campground in July 2010. His extensive library includes all the books of Rev. Dr. E. Stanley Jones, which John refers to daily for his devotions and inspiration. John and his wife Willo Ann [Mitchell] have 3 children and 7 grandchildren. We look forward to listening to Brother John and to hear what the Lord has placed on his heart for this year’s Christian Ashram.

"My own heart and life have been changed by Scripture and I have seen its transforming power in my calling as nurse, minister, and as national director of the Canadian Bible Society." Phyllis practiced nursing in N.B. for 20 years before hearing the call to become an ordained minister in the Congregational Christian Church in Canada. She ministered in N.B. and her native N.S. before moving to Toronto to take up the Bible cause with the Canadian Bible Society. Phyllis is studying for her Doctor of Philosophy in Administration from Trinity College & Seminary accredited by Christ Church University, Cambridge, England.

| Worship Team: St. John's Worship Band |
We are very pleased to have the worship band from St John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Nashwaaksis to provide leadership in music for a second year. Last year provided us with an exceptional selection of reflective and praise music. The band features various musicians who just want to play and sing praises to God through their music. They have an intense love for music and we are honored to have them share their musical gifts with us.

| Youth (12-22) Program: Emily Little and David Charters |
A program focusing on bible study, worship and leisure activities. We are pleased to have Emily Little and David Charters as our youth leaders this year. Emily Little, a UNB student, has grown up within the faith as a PK (Preacher's Kid) and committed her life to Christ at the age of five in conjunction with a John Wesley White/Franklin Graham Crusade. She enjoys working with children/young people and has done so within Sunday schools, youth groups and community recreation programs. A mission trip to Bolivia continues to be a high point in her spiritual life. David Charters is a St. Thomas University student. He enjoys good books, the piano, campfires, photography, and the great outdoors. This is his seventh Christian Ashram and first as a Youth Leader and member of the Twelve.
