Christ the Cornerstone

During the uncertain times of politics and the economy we remember that Christ is the cornerstone of our lives. He is the anchor, the rock who does not move except to lead us in His will and in His ways.

It is tremendously encouraging to be part of a ministry that experiences the faithfulness of God’s people. As we learn of businesses that need to cut back, we are instead challenged to expand and grow.

As much as you might appreciate the summer camps and conferences, it is wonderful to hear reports from our retreat groups about how they are using the Camp as a resource to grow spiritually. Even though they might be here on the short, dark rainy days of winter they still remark concerning how God uses the splendor of this place as a setting for worship, praise, and spiritual growth.

There are some things to be looking forward to in the next few weeks. The winter Windchime will be sent out. You can view it now at

It has some pictures of the building project and a challenge for people to continue to give (as you are) to the project.

If you want to watch the progress, go to http://winemamissionsbuilding.blogspot.com/ where we regularly post pictures and comments.

The 2009 schedule of camps and conferences will appear along with the announcement that registration for the upcoming season is now open online.

We pray that this Christmas season will give you the opportunity to share Christ with someone you care about. And, we ask that you continue to keep the Camp in your prayers this holiday season.
