STAFF
Doug Crawford, Administrator

When I surrendered to full time Christian Service in 1985 little did I know that not
only myself but also Ruby, my wife, and Brandon and Kari, my children, would be
along beside me working in the Christian Camp and Conference ministry. This
proved to be a real blessing as we were able to work together forming a strong
family bond while our children were young. Brandon and Kari have grown and
gone to vocations of their own but Ruby is still actively helping in this ministry.

Our first experience began in 1987 at New Hope Baptist Camp near Holt,
Missouri, just north of Kansas City, Missouri. The move from our home in West
Texas to Missouri was quite a change but also an extraordinary blessing. Our
work began at Timberline in the fall of 1999 and also has been a great blessing.

I believe prior self-employment in the agriculture industry and medical laboratory
management seemed to have given me a lot of skills useful in this ministry.

Fishing and working on antique tractors are favorite hobbies with gun smithing,
shooting and hunting, being other interests, on the back burner for now.

Ruby and myself are members and involved at  Westwood Baptist Church in
Tyler as Sunday school class director, teacher and Wednesday night prison
ministry.
Ruby Crawford, Fillin' Station Coordinator

I reside on camp with my husband Doug and I coordinate the Fillin' Station (gift

Things that are important to me:  Personal relationship with Jesus Christ and
family--immediate, extended and church.
