Missionary Support
We have a dedicated staff of professionals who have been
called to use their gifts and talents to serve God through
our camping ministry. These individuals and families
help us provide a safe and friendly Christ-centered
environment that uses God's Word to encourage faith and
growth in Jesus Christ. These staff are missionaries,
charged with raising their own support.
If you would
like to help make an eternal difference in the lives of
campers at Crescent Lake Bible Camp, please consider making
a donation to the Missionary Support Fund; an online
donation option is provided below to allow you to easily
give to the ministry of each Staff member.

Dale, Desi and Levi Haskins
Maintenance Coordinator
I grew up in Ogema, Wisconsin and lived there for 39 years.
Desi grew up in Sana Rosa, California until she moved to Rib
Lake. We met at Ogema Church and got married in August
of 1991. I worked for a contractor for 14 years and
then ran my own construction business for six years before
God called us to Crescent Lake Bible Camp. Desi has
homeschooled our son, Levi, for four years. (He will
attend school in Rhinelander for his High School years.)
I love serving God through maintaining Camp's property and
serving others at CLBC. Desi and Levi also love to
volunteer at camp as much as possible. I am the Maintenance
Coordinator and Desi and I are the Water Ski Instructors
during the summer months. We started our full-time
ministry here in February of 2006. I enjoy the
outdoors, camping, waterskiing, hunting, snowmobiling, and
doing wood-working.
Dale Says: "Serving God is an Honor. Seeing
someone learn more about God is a Blessing."
Phil and Sandra Hiebing
Food Service Director
I was born in Sheboygan, WI and lived there for 42 years.
I was married to my wife, Sandra, on July 27, 1991. I
spent the next nine years trying to love her. We were
both born again August 23, 2000, in Buehlers Pond. I
have spent the last nine years loving her as I should.
We have four children: Lee, Theresa, Anna and Eric.
We have six grandchildren. I started serving at CLBC
in March of 2008 My hobbies include reading my Bible,
laughing with Sandra, goofing off with children and
grandchildren, cooking, golfing any time and anywhere, and
bacon and sausages.
Phil Says: "Serving at CLBC has really opened my eyes
to what I was missing my life years ago: serving
others rather than myself. Come visit the Dining Hall.
(I'll be the very tall, very thin guy.)"
Mike and RaNae Jewell
Executive Director
I was born and raised on a farm in Dodgeville Wisconsin
and went onto school at the UW-Platteville where I met
RaNae and married her 34 years ago. We have 3 children
(Matt, (married to Jody), Emily, (married to Charlie
Blair) and Abbey, (getting married to Jeremy Thiel in
July) and three grandchildren (Asher, Lydia and Caleb),
with the fourth on the way, due in May. After working
in the business world for 30 years, I came to Crescent
Lake as the Executive Director in June of 2004 after
serving 15 years on the Board of Directors for the CLBC.
I fell in love with seeing people come to Christ and
growing in their faith, there is no better feeling than
knowing God is using you for His purposes. I like to
hunt, travel, work with other charities and spend time
with RaNae and family, whenever possible.
Mike Says: “God does amazing things at CLBC; it is a
privilege to be part of the work He does here.”
Jeremy, Angie, Christine and Grace
Payfer
Maintenance Director
Megan Rosol
Office And Program
Assistant
I grew up in the Michiana area (on the state line of Michigan and
Indiana) where my dad was the Pastor of a church. I always felt
called to working in some sort of ministry and after attending
Bethel College in Indiana, I looked forward to seeing where God
would lead me.
I had been a camper at CLBC attending Family Camp since I was about
eight years old. When I counseled in 2005, I realized that Crescent
Lake Bible Camp was a ministry that I wanted to be involved in.
After finishing college I worked for a year, then applied to camp
and worked as a counselor this past summer and was blessed with the
opportunity to stay on as full time Office Staff.
Crescent Lake Bible Camp has played a large part in my walk with
God. I looked up to the counselors that dedicated their summers as a
child, enjoyed seeing God’s hand in the beautiful camp, and also
being able to serve as a counselor myself, and witnessing the lives
of people changed.
Megan Says: "I am excited to be a part of all of the new
programs that camp will be offering."
Barry, Maria, Isaac and Lauren
Rudesill
Camp Director
I have been working in Christian camping and/or youth
programs now for over 14 years. During that time, I
have had the privilege of working with some incredibly
talented staff in some of the most beautiful places on
earth; all while watching children, adults and even entire
families ask Jesus Christ to become their personal Lord and
Savior. God has been very good to me! During my
service to Him, I have found Maria - my wife, my partner and
my friend - two wonderful children, Isaac and Lauren, and
friendships with people that will last for an eternity.
My hobbies include: reading, Christian Illusions,
storytelling and other random things.
Barry Says: "God is doing exciting things here at
Crescent Lake Bible Camp. It is incredible to watch as
His plan unfolds!"
Kim Williamson
Outreach Coordinator
The first time
I attended Crescent Lake Bible Camp, I was three months old.
CLBC has been an important place in my life ever since. My
grandparents were Camp Managers for ten years, so I had the
privilege of spending lots of time at camp. I was a camper for
many years and also worked in the kitchen as a teenager. Camp
was my "home away from home". I came to camp as a full time
missionary in May 2005 as the Office Coordinator. What a joy it
is to be a part of God's ministry here!
I have two adult sons.
Chad will be getting married to Melissa, April 10th in Minnesota
where he lives. Matt and his wife Taryn live in Missouri and
became proud parents of a baby boy on February 10, 2010. Brayden
Ryan made me a "grandma" for the first time. I can't wait for
him to come to camp!
2009 was a year in my life that God showed
me His abundant love and protection. I went through ten months
of treatments/surgeries for breast cancer and kidney
cancer. Recovery is a lot slower than I want it to be, but I
know it is part of God's plan for my life. I want to be obedient
to the plans He has for me. I can't say "thank you" enough to
all of you who have been praying for me. I am looking forward
to seeing you in 2010 and catching up on all the hugs I missed.
Kim
says: "God is in control and His ways and timing are perfect,
even in the things we don't understand"
