Tents are up! Getting ready for our summer season.
Thank you to all who have helped create beauty from the ashes!

Thank you!!

The place is looking like a camp again.

We praise the Lord for His goodness in sending you and the resources needed to create anew His place of respite.

We are excited that we will be able to hold Easter Services beneath our new Pavilion!

Designed and orchestrated by Craig Eaton, Eaton Construction, and built with the labor of volunteers:

Hannah Southard, Steve Bohrer, Jim Harvey, Jeff Castle, Troy Farwell, Pete Russell, Craig Hartman, Mike Hartman, Victor and Jose. Steve and Jeff also created places for quiet repose by the creek, and put in fence posts. Jim H cut some major size downed trees.

The Christ Mission College of San Antonio volunteers Monte, Reva, Natalie, Saulo, Sarah, Jeremy, Ray, Lynette, Yari, Elizer, John, Anna, and Jenifer cleaned all the foundations, filled the metal box, stacked wood, cleared debris and sorted thousands of dollars of lumber donated by Parr Lumber.

Tina Eveleth, camper, Cindy Wilson and Dana Gleanon worked on restoring the trails through the memorial garden. CMC students made memorial stones that will be added to other volunteers’ creations to form a wonderful wall of remembrance.

Also thanks to Liz Donnelly and Tina for supplying plenty of Gatorade, water and lunch supplies. Panera Breads supplied pastries and bagels.

Many thanks for log splitting, tractor work and general heavy lifting to Nate, and Forrest.

Architect and former staff, Noel (Sergio) spent four days measuring and drawing sketches that will create the final plans for rebuilding. And special thanks to David Freeman that arranged for volunteers Al Osterhoudt, and John Newberg to complete the survey.

It is a blessing to be surrounded by so many skilled people willing to share their time to recreate what the fire turned to ash.

David F. and his wife, Shelly, brought tables, chairs, and tools for the work crew. James Dezellum, alumni staff, put his chainsaw to work with enthusiasm and John and Debbie V. returned to cut up more metal to haul away.

Bruce F. finished the bridge and Steve, Jeff, Troy and Pete put in the railroad ties for the fence line.

Thanks to generous donations we will be able to bring in our mobile kitchen unit and construction will begin on a small cabin that will be used this summer for our infirmary.

It is our gift from God that He would choose to raze all to ashes so that He can bring glory to Himself through this great community of people.

So much in one week!

Blessings,

Jerry and Laura
