| 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 shop/concession). Hobbies include crafts, collecting buttons and reading. Things that are important to me: Personal relationship with Jesus Christ and family--immediate, extended and church. |
| Keath, Kari, Evan, and Ezra Lattery, Bookkeeper and Guest Services Keath is the bookkeeper and helps out with recreation. Kari is the guest services coordinator. This family comes from the Houston, Texas area and are enjoying the small town atmosphere. Timberline is special to them because they were married here in 2003. Evan is their 7 year old son and enjoys living at the camp. Ezra is two and loves to follow his big brother around. |
| Heidi Hays, Food Service Director Heidi was born and raised in North East Pennsylvania. She started her food industry career 21 years ago. In 2010, she moved to East Texas with her husband and 3 beautiful children; Hannah, Jared, and Olivia. She lived in Georgia for 11 years and worked at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center as a baker and trained under Chef Eric Meyhoefer. Heidi has a passion for serving others and has a heart for missions. She is excited to share that with Timberline! |
