I just wanted to share some of the morning serenity here. All is silent
except for the call of the loons. I had to go out and enjoy the silence
while I could. Two families are here from Saskatoon to build a large garage.
It is a necessary step for storing tools and supplies. Bera and Bonita are
taking one step at a time towards building up the camp so they can
ultimately build a large dining and ministry centre and more cabins. They
will definitely need them. I heard many of the young people talking about
how they want to come back next year. They received a living and loving
experience of God here. I will never forget the changes in their faces.
Please pray that they will continue to grow. I see this camp as a place for
new beginnings in Christ, a new experience of His love.
They also have over 20 young people arriving this morning from Youth Works.
Last week's team came from Arkansas, Michigan and Minnesota. They come in
for four hours each day and help with work projects like clearing brush from
roadways. I say great progress on the new road into the camp. The present
one is too rugged and steep for a truck to come into without running into
the proposed building. A generous contractor and his big excavator helped
too. Again, they are taking one step at a time in faith.
Sadly, we have to leave later today. Please pray for Eagle's Cove. I don't
know how they juggle it all physically and I know there are financial
challenges, as there would be with any new endeavor. In the midst of the
physical struggles there is good ministry going on here. They've even been
great mentors to us while we've been here. They know the First Nations heart
and they know ministry, but most of all they know their Lord.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at home.
Love to all,
Wes and Sue
