We praise the Lord For the work that is being accomplished at camp!

| Getting ready for the youth dinner |
We have had a problem with our road leading in to the camp for many years.
Whenever it rains, the road becomes very muddy and difficult to drive on. There
have been many times that we have had to park at a nearby restaurant and walk
in. We had asked the city to fix it in the past and have never been able to get
them to do anything. Recently, another organization has moved in next door and
set up a dog pound to round up stray dogs in town. The short of it is they have
finally fixed the road! We had to pay for half of the cost, but we were happy to
do that in order to have a constant access to camp. We can now have events without the uncertainty of having to cancel because of rain!
Our kitchen is now functional with the recent installation of the
countertops! What a blessing it is to be able to cook and clean at camp! The
countertops for the dish pit area will be coming soon. We were able to use the camp for the first time to hold our annual youth fundraiser for the teens to go to winter camp.

| Youth fundraiser to go to winter camp |
Trinity Baptist in Moscow, Maine had a VBS program that we were able to
minister in via video. It is a blessing to know that the Lord is working in the
young hearts that participated. We are also thankful that they were able to
raise enough money to buy 40 chairs for the dining and chapel area.
The groundwork for the cabin was finally completed after waiting for more
than a year for someone willing to work on it. Our Steel contractor has also put
up the steel columns and roof structure.

| South Waterboro Team |
We had a team from South Waterboro, Maine working on the first of two
cabins that we have planned to complete in the next year. The team worked hard
at digging trenches, installing plumbing, and pouring the concrete floor for the
cabin. We are thankful for all the team members that were able to come, but we
are especially thankful that God sent a plumber to do all of the in ground
plumbing for the cabin as well as hooking up all of our kitchen faucets. They
also gave us a “kitchen shower” by bringing much needed supplies such as
utensils, cooking sheets, muffin tins, pots and pans and the like to get the
kitchen in working order. Our hearts were greatly encouraged to have another one
of our partnering churches ministering with us on this end of the equator!

| Lift team from Northern Ireland |
The same day that the South Waterboro team left, we received a team from
Northern Ireland that stayed for another two weeks. The first day we finished
the concrete slab and installed the majority of the walls. It is exciting to see
so much progress in such little time! We thank the Lord for His provision
through His people.
Please continue to pray for continued progress in the physical work and
that God would put together work teams to complete the cabins so we will be able
to open the camp!
