From The Monitor, November 20, 2005 Corrie ten Boom visits
Women’s Club
GUN BARREL CITY–Dressed in a simple navy blue frock and sweater, pinned with a brooch, her graying hair rolled into a bun, Corrie ten Boom told her story. Boom and her family lived in Nazi occupied Holland during World War II. Actress and missionary, Evelyn Hinds, related ten Boom’s tale of inspiration, faith and brutal imprisonment in a Nazi concentration camp. Hinds was the speaker for the monthly luncheon of The Cedar Creek Lake Women’s Club. She described herself as a “child of the 60’s.” She said in 1983, she finally gave up and told God to take her problems and straighten out her life as “it’s a mess.” She said the joy she experienced proved to her, “there is a God in Heaven.” She didn’t know it then, but that was the year Corrie ten Boom died at the age of 91. She became interested in the life and story of Corrie ten Boom after seeing a production of “The Hiding Place,” the story of the Boom family. In 2004 Hinds was named a spokesperson for the Corrie ten Boom House and museum in Holland. The next meeting for the Women’s Club is 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13. Members are asked to bring their unwrapped gifts for the Crisis Center to the December meeting.
