Life for Youth Camp Work for us Ends

March 1st, 2009 Don No comments

 Life for Youth Camp kept all 28 SOWERS busy the whole time.  The administration and staff here are just great and well organized as to the various projects to be completed by us.  The time goes by way to quickly.  Maybe it is a factor of age.?.?

This goat delivered a set of twins, Mathew and Mark.  Mathew appeared to be the healthier of the two on the first day and we were concerned about the little one, Mark.  Jenny and I went to the barn on Friday morning.  Mathew looked to be sleeping but in an un-goat like manner.  We picked him up and found he was near death.  We rushed back to our motor home and force feed him through a straw.  Long story short, it looks like he is going to live and has become the most spoiled and human handled goat in the history of this camp if not the world.

The stories of the commitments to Jesus that are directly and indirectly the results of the ministry of this camp are heart stirring.  Imagine up to 700 children and 100+ young counselors around here in the busy summer season.  It is a wonderful thing to be able to help such a ministry.

 

Thanks much for your continued prayers and support of us and our ministry.

 

God bless,

 

Don and Jenny
