Hello Everyone! My name is Gil. I'm the director at Glad Tidings Bible Camp in Northeast Nebraska. I'm extremely excited to see and be a part of the amazing things God is doing at the camp and in the area.
My wonderful wife, Jamie, and I have been married since 2001. We moved up to the camp from Omaha, Nebraska. We have a cat named Royal. I love to play strategy board games like Settlers of Catan and Agricola. I like to play campfire songs on the guitar. And I bring quite a number of years of camping experience to Glad Tidings.
It has been great to meet some of you who have been involved in Glad Tidings! Each person I meet brings a new story of how camp has impacted them. I'm very much looking forward to talking and partnering with everyone who wants to see the camp move forward to accomplish the
camp's mission to impact lives for Jesus Christ.

Hi! My name is Rebecca Baehr and I moved to Glad
Tidings in the fall of 2016. I work as the
camp's General Assistant, which means I do a
little bit of everything. I clean the camp,
organize the buildings, help with the mowing,
work on camp mailings, plan the meals for our
summer camps and retreats, help in the kitchen,
and just about anything else anybody needs me to
do!
I moved here after a prayerful and diligent
search for a ministry to be a part of. I ended
up at Glad Tidings after talking to Gil and
Jamie who I met at another camp we used to be
involved with. Based on conversations with them,
I saw all of the pieces fall into place
confirming that this is where God wanted me to
be.
I grew up in Southeast Nebraska outside of a
small town of about 500 people. I was
homeschooled from the 4th grade
through high school. Then, I enjoyed serving
families as a homeschooling mother's helper. I
also cleaned houses and took care of the elderly
in their homes. Now, when I'm not working at
camp, I work as an audio transcriptionist and a
bookkeeper to supplement my income. Some of the
things that I enjoy doing in my spare time are
crocheting, playing board games, and spending
time with family and friends.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to be
here serving God at camp. I am excited to see
what else He is going to do!
