"Miracles happen at Gracefield.” I have heard multiple times during my brief introduction and stay at Gracefield Christian Camp and Retreat Centre in the past 8 months. I have listened to many touching stories whose themes changed the lives of the people in them. “How so?” I asked. “In the most important way… people finding Jesus Christ, turning away from sin and living anew” they say. So, I began investigating further. I have seen the evidence of two people leading others, modeling for others, supporting others, selflessly giving for others here at Gracefield for 15 years. Yes, I believe there are angels on earth. I believe that each one of us can be one of those angels by making a difference in other people’s lives. Alan & Dorothy Herbert have been angels on earth time and time again. The young people I have had the privilege to visit with have told me how through their years at Gracefield Dorothy would show them the love of God for every creature, plant or animal. And, how Alan modeled God’s support by being that support in flesh and blood here on earth. I have seen the documents they have written with true love, commitment and devotion to the mission and meaning of Gracefield. I have seen the evidence of their selflessness in the way they have done their best with what they had where they were. My sincerest gratitude for leaving this special place changed, by making a difference for so many lives. I wish them the best with their new venture of retirement and deserved rest.
Sincerely,
Relena Lyddon Myers
