Bill Howell was born in Iowa City, IA, on Jan. 22, 1956.  He was born again in KC, MO, on the last Sunday in   Feb. 1971.  A missionary challenged Bill that there was something wrong with his belief & quoted John 3:16.  The missionary walked away & left Bill feeling empty until he cried out to the Lord to save him from his sins.  That day Bill believed that he would not perish but have everlasting life due to the gift of God's Son as promised in John 3:16. 

Bill has been serving the Lord in directing Story Book Lodge Christian Camp for around 20 years. 




​Jerry Brown was born in Marshall, MN. in 1951 and raised in several areas of the upper mid-west.
He has been living, and working, at Story Book Lodge Christian Camp since Feb. of 1984.  Previously he had a few  other jobs in the Fargo-Moorhead area where he fellowshipped at the Meadow Ridge Bible Chapel.

He was saved as a boy of 17 when he heard and understood that he was a guilty sinner under the judgement of God. He was relieved to hear that God loved him (Jn. 3:16) and had sent Jesus Christ to be his savior, When he understood that the Lord Jesus had suffered and died in his place so that he could be free of the judgment of God he trusted Him as his Savior.  Since then he has been coming to know Him more and more through His word, the Bible.
​






Daniel Triestman was born into a Christian home in Philadelphia, PA. The son of a Jewish missionary, Daniel grew up learning the Scriptures and Biblical traditions from a Jewish perspective and at an early age placed his faith in Jesus the Messiah.
