Catching Up

The summer is half over and the good intentions to put something up more often as the camp's rolled along turned into just that, "Good Intentions."

Thankfully all those who have given so much to be a part of the summer's youth camp program went way beyond good intentions. They have given of themselves to provide the Christian camping experiences for the campers that have come to the first youth camps.

We are seeing that the number of youth campers is remaining about the same as usual. There is no great increase, but also no great decrease. The July camps have seen the largest numbers.

I am consistently impressed by the quality of the programs and the resources of the volunteers as the weeks come together.

I wanted to share a few images here as well.

First in relation to the Missions Building project. Here are some pictures from the Groundbreaking ceremony that was held on March 26. About 75 people turned out for the Ground Breaking Ceremony. Each person had the opportunity to jump on the gold shovel and turn a bit of dirt to symbolize the start of construction. It was an awesome and humbling experience to be in the presence of so many who love the Lord and love what God is doing through the ministry of Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp.

For an update on the project: We are still waiting to receive the building permit, but we are now planning to demolish the existing building in September. The next steps include site preparation and concrete work before the steel structure can be put up.

We are starting a new capital campaign as we still need to raise funds in order to complete this project. It is called "Our Devotion-His Glory" as we devote ourselves to making the dream of this new building into a reality.
