John and his wife, Lydia, have three children, Adam, Amy and Katie. They live near Berlin, Ohio and are active members of Mennonite Christian Assembly in Fredericksburg, Ohio.

My Primary responsibility is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit’s leading in providing visionary, strategic, and directional leadership. I think we have assembled an amazing staff of servant-leaders. “Service as great as the lake,” is more than something we say! It is wonderful to serve alongside my wife and kids. I love what Beulah Beach is to families – we are committed to raising the next generation to take the word to the world.

One of my core values is fun! But the thing I enjoy the most is hearing of changed lives through camp ministry. I am a Beulah Beach bell ringer! As a boy I tried to ring the bell at midnight and got caught in the act. I surrendered my life to Christ at camp!

I have served as a pastor, an international worker, in the district and national office and now at Beulah Beach. I am convinced that God doesn’t speak any louder here, but many have told me that they tend to hear him better at Beulah Beach! Listen!

Carlos Whittaker is a People’s Choice Award winner, a former recording artist signed to a major label, a social media maven, and currently spends the majority of his time writing books and speaking on stages around the world. It really began when the Whittaker’s found their family in America’s spotlight with appearances on shows like CBS Early Morning, The Today Show and more when their viral video “Single Ladies Devastation” went viral. But for Carlos, his wife Heather and their three children, this viral moment was just a snapshot of the bigger picture.

“Our family has experienced our share of moments both big and small. What we’ve learned is that every single one has played a pinnacle part in our lives. Each moment has built on to the next one and when we take a step back we see this incredible canvas that has been woven together.”

Currently Carlos is regularly teaching at churches and conferences worldwide. Including Catalyst Conference, Embrace Church, FreshLife Church, and many more.

After college, Robert worked as a corrections officer for five years while he studied at Xavier University for
his Masters Degree. Upon completion, he took a position with the Cincinnati Bengals professional football club. He left the Bengals and went to the University of Louisville where he worked in Marketing for the Athletic Department. 

Robert’s passion for people and sports is the avenue that God has used to call him and his family to serve
Him through the ministry of Athletes in Action; the sports ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). in 2011 felt the Lord moving him to serve full-time on the
professional level. The Cleveland Browns afforded him the opportunity to do so, and Robert and his family
relocated to Cleveland in July 2012. They have since been faithfully serving the Lord by ministering to the
needs of the Browns organization, their families and the local Cleveland community.

The Skit Guys are Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, who have been best friends since high school. They fell in love with acting through their involvement in the school’s theater productions, and discovered they had a knack for making people laugh. When Tommy invited Eddie to church, everything changed. With encouragement and guidance from their youth pastor, the guys started to write and perform skits for their youth group. No longer was it just about making people laugh-their skits now had a bigger purpose. Since their high-school days, they’ve been writing and performing hilarious and poignant skits live and on camera.
