Brother Camping is dear to me, I am his spiritual fruit that he bore forth, may any good that I do be attributed to the Lord Jesus Christ and his mercy he has had on his elect. Brother Camping was faithful until the end! I pray the Lord Make me as righteous as brother Camping.

I am so grateful for the ministry of Family Radio. It has been apart of my life since I was a teenager. The family Bible reading hour has always been my favorite. The Unshakled program was my second favorite. Thank you, again.

January 25, 2014

Thanks Harold,,you always kept it real.

I had the pleasure of listening to brother Camping for eighteen years. Truly it was a sound of the new life among a sea of noise... He taught me that the Bible in its entirety is the infallible Word of God, among so many other Truths of the Bible. His teachings were wonderful to my new found ears to Truth, which consistently and persistently touched my soul, my inner man, as he taught the Wisdom of God. Though imperfect as man, he was far more correct and wonderful than any other teacher I've known. I had the pleasure of meeting brother Camping prior to May 21, 2011 and then prior to October 21, 2011. What a God fearing man, I thought he was... Made a great impression in my life and I will never forget all the wonderful blessings God gave me through him. May he rest in peace forever and I look forward to meeting him again soon at the feet of Christ on that glorious last day!

May we meet again soon!

Mr. Camping was such a blessing in my life. I learned so much by following the most important thing about the bible. The bible interprets itself. God blessed him and used him for wonderful things. He got people in the bible and that's the most wonderful thing a person can do for people. He will be missed.

Mr Camping and his teaching are a blessing to all of us.

Harold was used of God in many ways , we now know the age of the earth, He is as Arthur Pink or J.C. Ryle or John Calvin to me. I understood he was not perfect and had feet of clay like the rest of us and God brought chastisement to him as God does a son, and for that I am thankful. Harolds books will always be part of my Library as I often use them to find a passage or verse and share with the world.
God raises up kings and puts down kings and Harold now knows the Savior like only one can who has passed from this life. May God continue to bless His wife Shirly and family and loved ones around the world.

To the voice that proclaimed God's word to my hearing, which followed and kept company all along; for 35 years in this world. I could not have had a better faithful voice on this side than he whom God raised up. I thank God for you and all those other ministers and staff from Family Radio. Your most unworthy beneficiary & friend. Thank you for greeting me with that warm smile, the one time I visited you in Alameda, CA. before your calling home.

I have listened to Mr. Camping for over 15 years. He's such a dedicated and faithful teacher of the bible. He's brave, not afraid to preach even if makes people upset and unsettling, but that's part of being a child of GOD, we showed spiritual teaching and results that might offend the natural man. Let us rejoice and be glad for how GOD raised up this man, and used him for his as he did in the old times past, and he may forever praise God in everlasting presence.

Rest in peace, dear brother Camping. When I would visit the fellowship once in a while in Alameda, Mr. Camping always made me feel welcome with his wonderful smile and kind and friendly ways. =)

My wonderful friend Mr. Camping of family Radio was very special to me and although we never met in person we met daily together on the Open Forum for over 15 years discussing the magnificent word of God. He was unadoptable a devout bible teacher whose heart was in the Lord. He will be missed by many but now is in the presents of Lord in which he has waited patiently all these years. He was always saying, “Welcome to the Open Forum” but now the time has come for the LORD to say, “Welcome to the Kingdom of God, well done, good and faithful servant.

I am grateful for the Bible studies and the Open Forum. I learned a lot from Mr. Camping. He urged all to read the Bible so that we can draw near to God. I am grateful for this.

I have listened to Family Radio for many many years. After being let go from my job in June 2008, I have listend almost every night. It is such a source of comfort for me whenever I geet in my car and even in the wee hours of the morning. I would always look forward to Mr. Campings talk at 3:30am, when it was really him.
Even though his predictions for the end of the world did not come to pass, he made the entire world aware, that the day of judgement is coming. For this, I am eternally grateful.

My heart goes out to his wife, family and extend family during this time and I will continue to listen to this station and make gifts whenever I can.

December 24, 2013

You are now in glory! May you rest in HIS peace , good and faithful servant.

I grew up listening to Family Radio and could always recognize Harold's voice. It was familiar, gentle, and comforting. Some of the best times of my life have been with Harold and his family. My best friend was one of his granddaughters. Every July, we couldn't wait to meet up at Mission Springs for Family Radio Bible Camp which was an annual tradition started by this man and his ministry. And quite honestly, I don't think I'd be the same person without all those summers at Mission Springs. And it's all thanks to him. He was a real man with a real purpose. He had a wife and a family who he loved. He cared for people. He had a passion for truth and longed for others to know it. He loved reading God's Word and sharing what he learned with others. These are the things I'll remember. Lord, I'm grateful for Harold Camping. And though I did not always agree with his teachings in the end, I want to thank you for the love You showed me through him. Because of him, I was able to draw closer to You, to Your truth, and to Your realness.

Our family has listened to Brother Camping for many years on WKDN, and we even were blessed to share a table at a luncheon in Cherry Hill NJ. He has long been a servant of God and a light in the darkness. We all miss his Open Forum. He will suffer no more and I am sure that the Father 's first words to him were "Welcome, good and faithful servant, well done". Condolences to Brother Camping's family. He was a dear, dear man and more cherished than you will ever know. May God bless you.

Mr Camping had faith in God's promise to remove the wicked and it will soon come to pass! Another promise is that soon death will be no more. May this promise provide comfort to all during this difficult time.

Mr. Camping,
You were a wonderful vessel of the LORD. Your example of humility, obedience, diligence and love for God (and His word) and man has and will continue to be a great witness and source of reflection.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. -Mat5:14

We have listened to Family Radio since 1987. I would be driving home at night alone in my car looking for comfort on the way home. I came upon Family Radio and Mr. Camping. At the same time my husband was at home getting ready for bed and he discovered Mr. Camping too. Imagine our amazement that this would happen at the same time. We looked forward to him teaching us so many things about the bible and even though he wasn't perfect he always looked for the truth and our Lord in all of his preaching. I praise God for Mr. Camping and I pray that his family will take much comfort knowing he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A true believer, and wonderful teacher may God have mercy on all of us still waiting to be called home. Thank you Mr. Camping.

December 20, 2013

Heartfelt condolences to family and loved ones. May the God of all comfort be with you.

I started listening to Family Radio in 1974. I continue to listen to this day, although there were a number of things I did not agree with. Besides certain doctrinal discrepancies, the programming is unique and a jewel in a "sea of waste". Please keep it on the air in spite of Mr. Camping's death. Farewell, dear believer. You are in the Lord's care, eternally.

December 19, 2013

My condolences to all of the Camping Family and Family Radio. What a faithful laborer Mr. Camping was. I loved his short radio segments of the past couple years. Even after his illness, the "light" of God's witness in him was not put out. We will ALL miss you so very much, Mr. Camping. Now you are enjoying "what eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD has prepared for them that LOVE him." May the Lord have mercy on us that remain. God bless you all.

I was saddened by the news of Mr. Camping's passing. I remember coming across Mr. Camping while station surfing my car radio, and I would listen in from time to time as he was a very intelligent, and intriguing man of God. Like all of us, he was not perfect, yet he was one of God's warriors, and for that, he will forever have my respect. God bless Mr. Camping. My sincere condolences to his family.

December 19, 2013

you have taught me so much about God's Word and i will miss your teaching so much. My condolences to Mrs Camping and family.

I have been blesses to receive many Biblical teachings and observations from those seeking the truth from God's Word, including those from Harold Camping. Words cannot express my joy and gratitude that Jesus sees the true heart and judges righteously. I imagine Mr. Campings's joyful rest in communing with his Saviour. Lord willingly I will be sharing in this joy too.

Harold and Camping Family: as he was an earthly father and husband he always served as an exemplar to be a good earthly father and husband the way God devised it to be. He has now gone to be with the Spiritual father of us all and he was his brothers keeper. May The Lord comfort the camping family. Let us all pray to truly fear The Lord through his Salvation.

Brother Camping, words cannot express how much, over the years, I have learned from your faithful teaching of the Word of God, both over the radio and at your modest church in Alameda. All are sinners, but if anyone deserved being forever with our Creator, it definately is you. This is my opinion and believe me if the Good Lord ever saves me, I can certainly attribute my Biblical knowledge and my attraction to the Word first, from God's grace and secondly from your teachings. May Almighty God have you in His heavenly kingdom forever more.

Rest in peace Brother Camping, your work on earth is done . You fought a good fight, kept the faith , and finished the course. 2013 has been quite a year for judgement and finality, and your passing just reinforces my belief that all things are coming to consummation sooner than later. You will be missed on Family Radio very much. Much prayers for your remaining family , wife and children .
