Greetings!

The early reports are in and it appears summer camp was a big success. There were three sessions with a total of 191 campers. American teams were on hand for two of the three sessions.

Thirteen campers were sponsored by Mulberry. Generous gifts from the American teams covered most the cost of these scholarships. The balance came out of our operating budget.

There are pictures of some of the campers below. These are pictures of young lives that we now have the opportunity to impact for eternity.

A camp reunion is already scheduled at our place. The staff will personally follow up with all 191 campers.

It isn't too early to begin planning to be one of the American teams visiting next year's camps.

Don't grow weary.
