Something New!!!

We now have a bath house for camp!!

This is going to be such a big help! Ready made Bathrooms!! One more building that we don't have to build!!! An area disaster relief organization donated it to us. It's never been used. All the plumbing is done, we just have to hook it up to sewer. And of course add shower curtians & doors for the pottys!! It has 10 shower stalls, 8 sinks & 4 toilets divided up into two bathrooms!

To God Be The Glory!!!!

It's Official...

...Stillwater has a home! We now have property & can start building Camp!! We are going to be able to build on the same location that we held our Jr. & Teen camps this summer. It's been almost exactly 2 years since we started out on our journey. We have seen God work in some amazing ways. From leading us to exactly the right area at exactly the right time to placing wonderfully willing people with exactly the right knowledge to help us in our next steps. It truly has been an "Incredible Journey of Faith!" Please pray that the Lord will continue to lead, direct & bless as we start seeking permiting, zoning & buildings!!!

Remember when...

Back in April I posted that I was going to exercise my faith & I bought some decorations for my camp office which I didn't have yet. Today, I put those decorations up in my camp office!!! This is the first down time we've had since we got the office to put them up!! When God decides to work, He does it quickly & absolutely!! Looking back a month & a half ago, we didn't know where or how, but we know God wanted us to have camp. Sitting here now, we have 9 trailers & the property on loan to put them! "The Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad. Ps. 126:3! Please continue to pray for us that God will give us wisdom for the next step!

Look What God Is Doing!!!

The past two weeks have passed in a blaze of activity. We had eight nights straight where we spent the night in a different place! We started off with Jr. Camp in Florida. Did I mention that we had 3 campers get saved?:) On the trip back to NC, we took a family day at the beach in South Carolina. We were home for 1 night & off to Mississippi to get trailers for camp! What a trip!!!! The Lord provided the money at that time for 4 trailers. We were back home Wed. and began the necessary remodling to turn the trailers into dorms. Before we could even finish, the Lord has provided the money for 2 more trailers!! It has been amazing to see God work!! Thankfully, wonderful friends have volunteered to pick up the trailers for us so we can get ready for teen camp next week! We will have enough dorm space to hold approximately 30 teens! Please pray that the Lord will send just the right amount of teens for camp next week. If you know of a teen in the NC area that would like to attend camp, have them contact us!

"We're going to Camp...

...we're going to have a ball!" This week is our Jr. Camp in Branford, FL. As I type, we are on our way!! We are expecting around 35 campers. Please pray for the Lord to work in the camper's hearts. We will try to post some pics each night!!

Wanted: Camp Dorms!

We have the opportunity to purchase 32' RV's to be used here in North Carolina as camp dorms. After doing extensive research, we determined that we could sleep 8-10 people in each with minimal modification. We are asking God for 10 or 11 of these units. These campers would be an alternative to traditional lodging that would not encumber the ministry with a large mortgage. A reseller in Lumberton, Miss. has offered to sell these unit for $1850 each. They were oringinally $18,000. We praise the Lord that we have 5 units promised & will be able to pick them up before camp!! We are now sending out an appeal for the rest of the needed units. If a church or individual in honor or memory of someone, please let us know. If you'd like more information on these project, please feel free to contact us!

Snake in my HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was putting dishes away when out from behind my cabinets came this wonderful creature!!

Can you see his ugly little head peaking out? Tim got out the rifle, but we decided that we didn't want to try to explain to our landlord why there were holes in the cabinets & walls. Score one for the snake. I finally found the red pepper, score TWO for me!! The red pepper made the snake go into the container, and we took him off to the woods.

Obviously I was not going to take any chances!! So, for all you animal lovers, no animals were harmed, but harm was seriously thought of!!! I guess it was good camp training, but I'm still jumping back everytime I open a cabinet!!!
