I want to tell you that yesterday for the first time I looked at the Bios. I was amazed. I did not realize what a blessing they would be. I sat and wept over so many of them. The messages overwhelmed me and humbled me. They were a special blessing at this particular time to us.
I am going to upload them for myself and make a booklet out of them. I pray that everyone will read them all and realize what a great work God wrought through YA and Falwell and all of you guys. Thanks to everyone for your kind and gracious comments.
Love
Gordon and Dottie
========================================
As you can tell from the above email, the bios are very important to Gordon. Now so, more than ever!
When we first began asking you to submit your bios it was our intention to have a book made (after the Reunion, so some last minute bios could be submitted there) and mailed to you. However, after checking the price of having the book printed and mailed we decided that since the bios are already on the web it would be more financially wise for us to go to the web and read them.
The only problem with that is there are some people (eleven, to date) who have chosen not to have theirs made public. We totally understand their decision. This is due to personal reasons, places of ministry, employment, etc. So if you're looking for a particular person and can't find their bio you'll have to email them and ask if they will share it with you.
If you would like to make yours public let me know and I'll be happy to publish them for you. To date, there are 103 bios already on the web.
To SUBMIT your bio - go to youthaflame.org, click on "submit my bio" (left column), fill out the questions, and hit "submit". It's as easy as that!
To VIEW all bios - youthaflame.org - click on "read others' bio (left column)
I'm putting the finishing touches on our schedule and will email that to you very soon.
People are starting to register for the Reunion through PayPal or personal check. That's exciting!!
KEEP REGISTERING AND SUBMITTING YOUR BIOS!!
More later,

Hi to all,
I thought that it was time to say Hi to all and remind you to register for the reunion. Sheila has done an unbelievable job of making all this happen so let's respond. One problem with such excellent advanced planning is that we can cool off and relax and forget before the event even takes place. I hope that you will not do that. I am convinced more then ever that God is behind this gathering and some great things for His Kingdom will transpire. I have an exciting program to propose.
I am especially eager for everyone to share with all of us what is going on in your lives and ministries, so get in your BIOS and if you have printed material relating to your ministry or business, bring it with you to distribute.
I want to remind you that I am inviting SMITE folks to join us. Roscoe is coming, some of his kids missed their reunion last year and, remember that SMITE grew out of YA and Roscoe's ministry EPIC is an outgrowth of SMITE. I want them and all other offspring of YA to feel welcome.
I pray that you all have a great summer. We are excited about our 20th summer at Lassen Pines Retreat Center. If you are anywhere close this summer, please feel welcome as my guest at camp. Camp phone number is 530 4743160. Tom Darnell comes every summer for a few weeks to help run camp.
Keep helping Sheila find missing persons.
See you in Sept. !!!!!!
