Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving, already? What a wonderful camp season we had. Some highlights of our season were:

• Over 130 campers attending this year,
• 5 definite salvations and many re-commitments
• 100% of our campers hearing the uncompromising Word of God.
• 45 tremendous, hardworking volunteers; all of which were unpaid but gave of their time and talents to make the spread of the gospel possible.
• Our Wednesday night service during the 8-10^th grade camp was phenomenal! Teens and staff gave testimonies and publicly unburdened their hearts. The service ended after almost 3 hours of praise, worship, testimonies, and prayer! One young man testified: “I’ve been thinking about asking Jesus to be my Savior for two years. And tonight, I did! And now, He is!”
• Our Teen Girls retreat was well attended and many girls received help and hope.

 

God is blessing the camp with donations beyond all we could ask or imagine.

• A complete, larger sound system was donated to the camp! Our small system can now be moved into the Eat’um House to be used during winter camps, retreats, and family camp.
• A new-to-us commercial dishwasher and 3-sink set up, to be installed in the spring.
• We now are halfway to our goal of having enough funds to purchase 13 new, larger tepees and platforms which will give our campers and counselors better sleeping quarters.

 

What we still need:

• Your Prayers for guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit.
• You! To volunteer as staff for the 2019 camping season. Go to our website and click on the Camp Sign Up tab then Staff Registrations, and to volunteer your expertise at one of our May/June work days.
• You! To sign up or renew as a City Market Community Rewards member. Join the 15 other households naming the camp as their chosen charitable organization. We would love to see this number increase to 100!!!

• You! To come visit us at the Grand Junction Craft and Small Business Bazaar Nov. 10^th.  2802 Patterson Rd. Grand Junction.

• You! To be ready for Facebook’s Tuesday Gives Day, Nov. 27th. We will have a list of maintenance projects that your donation will help with. We ask you to get up early and go to the Facebook Page.
