God's purpose!                                                March 2009

 
 
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
 
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.

2 Sam 22:33-34
 
 

Summer Camp Visits update 
 
We have committed to a trip to California in early June to see JH Ranch in Etna and many other camps along the way.  Our route includes Salt Lake City, UT, Truckee, Ft. Bragg, and Etna, Oakland, OR, Boise, ID and home. 
 
If any of you know of a camp that you think we should visit in those areas, please let us know!  God is at work! 
 
 
Hello everyone!  Whew--what a month!  It has been a gift to connect with so many wonderful people who have a passion for camping!  We are still seeking God's specific vision for Legacy Lodge and feel God's hand in the people we have met challenging and encouraging us to press onward.
Please pray:
 
*Praise God for the Rocky Mountain Christian Camp and Conference Association Sectional in early March. From our initial time together, we met friends that will be lifelong.  We fired questions at those in camping for 30 years to start-ups discussing disappointments, joys and being called into ministry.  We feel a smaller number of beds than the original 300 is what God wants for Legacy Lodge. We toured 3 camps and are continuing to formulate ideas as we see God working in many ways. 
 
*Praise God for our prayer team that is now over 100 individuals/families. Thank you, Lord, for prompting your people to pray! 

*We travel to Atlanta,GA and Asheville, NC while visiting Wendy's parents for Spring Break. On March 30-31, we will have several meetings with individuals to network and discuss future possibilities. Will you please cover these two days in prayer for wisdom and discernment?  One meeting is with the director of Billy Graham's camp now called Camp Cedarcliff Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. EST as well as visits to two other camps in the area. 
 
*Please pray for the rest of the summer camp visits, that the details would be finalized as God desires.
 
*And always, please pray against the enemy's schemes, Daren's healing and closure of workman's comp.
 
 Thank you for praying!
Let us pray for you!
