The 2024 Imperial Valley Holiness Camp will be held from July 18 to the 28th on the campgrounds East of Imperial. Our Speaker will be Mark Umfleet! Mark will share with us each morning and evening during the 10 days of camp.  A bonus is that Mark is our artist for our Annual Kick Off Concert.  We are taking our Kick-Off Concert to town this year and will be sharing more details as we get closer to July.  To get a taste of Mark and his music go take a look and listen at https://markumfleet.com/

Mark and Dori Umfleet live in Forsyth, Montana, a rural community on the banks of the Yellowstone River. He is the pastor of The Point, a Wesleyan Church, and together they operate WeeCare Child Care, a ministry of their church. Mark is the leader of The Back Roads Parish, a mission to reach rural communities with the Gospel of Christ. He serves as Vice President at Cadwell Springs Camp, an interdenominational holiness camp in Southeast Montana.

Together, Mark and Dori have 4 children: Jabin and daughter-in-law Ally, with granddaughter Hazel, serve in ministry at Crossroads Farm in Reading, Michigan; Naomi and son-in-law Alex serve in ministry at The Branch Wesleyan Church in Lafayette, Indiana; Isaiah and Solomon are both students at Indiana Wesleyan University, where Solomon is a wide receiver on the IWU Wildcats football team.

Mark loves to hunt in the fall and to prospect for gold in the spring and summer. His favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hunt for Red October, The Man from Snowy River, and every John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart western. Dori loves kids: her own and all others. She tolerates country music, only because that’s what Mark prefers to sing. Her favorite movies are the short clips of baby Hazel sent by Ally and Jabin every day.

In 2021, the Country Gospel Music Association named Mark the International Male Vocalist of the Year. Mark has recorded two albums: At the Corner of Hope and Faith, and Do You Believe. His third album has been in production for a couple of years and will hopefully be released sometime in 2024. The working title of that album is The Sinner and the Saint: songs from The Door. The Door is a concert presentation of the Gospel like many have never heard. It has been described as an entire week of revival in one concert!
