CCI/Canada's E-Zine: "The Equipper"

Biz Membership EditionSept 2010
 "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: 
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much" Luke 16:10
Better Together
derrick with kangaroo The summer camp season has come to a close. We hope it was a good one for all of you! Have you started evaluating and trying to figure out how to do things even better in 2011? Does that include being an even better steward of the resources that God has blessed your ministry with?  If so, CCI/Canada is here to help. This issue of the Equipper is all about the partnerships that we have been making with companies that want to see Canadian Christian Camps and Conference Centres use the best products available at the best price, therefore stretching those dollars and helping to put more money in to other areas of the ministry.
