January at The Oaks

The camp got snow on January 2nd, and everyone was out playing in it for days afterward! Mario got to ski around camp and up and down the mountain. He got a bunch of pictures.



What else do you think all the camp kids would be doing?!





We are loving life here. The snow has melted, but the beauty remains. There have been some wonderful events lately, including Winter Camp for inner city teens. They have made us even more excited to be here!

It's Time to Move to The Oaks!

See the picture at the top? That's our soon-to-be home! We have been working toward life at The Oaks since October of 2008 and are excited to announce that we are MOVING in September! That's coming up quickly, isn't it?

We have been trying to raise 100% of our support in order to move to the camp. However, our demanding occupations this year have not spared us the time and energy to fully accomplish this fund raising goal. Nevertheless, with the generous help of many friends and family members, we are pleased to have reached 30% support.

We recently discussed these issues with World Impact. They decided to temporarily cover the remaining 70% of our financial needs so that we can move to the camp and begin working there full time. World Impact was able to make this exception because some funds were suddenly made available due to a staff member getting married and moving away. In addition, they feel we will be able to raise the remainder of our support more effectively while living and working at the camp.

We are very excited about this new chapter of our lives and are looking forward to serving wholeheartedly with this unique ministry. Please pray for us as we make this major transition to camp life and continue to raise support!
