Hey guys just wanted to up date everyone involved with the camp what has been going on. We had a great turn out last Saturday and we got so much accomplished. The biggest thing was running water! Whoohooo. We can now use the restroom and take showers. Also we dispersed $3000 worth of gravel to make roads and make the foundation in the horse barn. We finished painting the camp house and started building the wall that will divide the girls and boys room. We also mostly finished the roof on the horse barn. Lots of great progress thanks to all of you who gave up theirSaturday to sweat it out at the farm. I have to say what touched my heart the most was the fact that we had 5 foster children show up just to help out for absolutely nothing in return. Eric and the Perrigo's are in Oregon right now and they are so pumped. Eric said they are getting so many good ideas and information on how to quickly get up and running. Looks like we will be opening for ministry this summer. God is amazing. I can't wait to see the lives that will be touched.
WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT BUSINESSES THAT I WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO PERSONALLY THANK THEM ALL. THANK YOU TO: ROGER'S GROUP FOR THE STONE, OUT DOORS UNLIMITED (BURKE) FOR SKID LOADER WORK AND LAND SCAPING, WALTER HILL PLUMBING, AND MURFREESBORO INULATION FOR INSULATING THE CAMP HOUSE. WE COULDN'T DO IT WITH OUT YOU AND SO MANY CHILDREN WILL BE TOUCHED BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUSITY.
Alot has been going on at the camp. Eric, Burke, Dennis and Ronnie have been working hard and getting this ready to honor and serve God's children and it is so cool to watch Ronnie and Dennis be so involved and excited. Eric and The Perrigo's leave on June 2nd for training and will return on June 5th. Please keep them in your prayers and me as well as I try to function without my captain. The next work day will be May 30th all day. Come anytime. Lunch will be provided and drinks and snacks. I will be sending a list out soon of what we are going to try to accomplish that day and some tools that we will need. We love you guys and thanks for all your support and hard work.
We offically have a kitchen at the camp now! This is Ronnie repelling down the silo. Things are really moving along. Eric and Ronnie have been working there behinds off every Saturday. Lots of people have been donating their labor and materials. The cabinets were donated by C&M custom cabinets out of LaVergne and the concrete was donated by Calcrete Contruction. God is so Good! We almost have the horse barn completely finished.
You can mapquest it or its also on GPS. Look for the red mail box.
