We’ve had good progress on the mountain cabin this week. After two great days of work we had rain today which has slowed things down. The team continued to “nibble” at it today between the showers.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words. Well, here are about 6,000 “words”.
Enjoy!
Today we began the construction of the Mountain Cabin Nature Center (formerly known as the Log House Project). As I’d mentioned earlier the restoration costs got too large for the log house so we altered our plans to build an old style mountain cabin instead. I’m grateful for the several gifts which have recently arrived [...]
A person rarely has the opportunity to revisit those places in life that greatly impacted you. Well, yesterday I had just such an opportunity. I, along with Debbie, our oldest son, Caleb, and his family, Gabby and Elsie, visited The Stony Brook School (NY) from which I graduated in June 1969. I had not been [...]
“Good morning, Camp Nathanael.” There’s a slight hesitation on the other end of the phone line. “Dan?” “No, this is Josh, would you like Dan?” That’s the reaction when a mission worker or a regular caller contacts the mission office lately.

Debbie and I continue our participation in the GIC at Calvary Church. We’ve had the opportunity to visit with several long-time friends, make some new ones and enjoy some good fellowship and some good food.

We are participating in the Global Impact Conference at our home church, Calvary Church (Lancaster, PA), in my opinion one of the great missionary churches in America. The theme for the week is “Entering the World for Jesus Sake” and Debbie and I are sharing the [...]
Have you ever had one of those situations where your dreams meet the reality of its cost? Well, that’s what we’re experiencing here this week.
Several of us within the mission had the dream, since the Mosley Farm was purchased in 2006, of restoring the 75 year old log house which stood on that property as a wonderful [...]
Friday night during the Adult Fellowship we had some special guests. Fanny Crosby, the renowned hymn writer and her husband shared the evening with us. (We didn’t keep them hidden in the kitchen all evening.) It was a great visit and a real treat for all our guests. Actually it’s Andy and Loretta Burgress from North Carolina. [...]
Yesterday was a full day as many Sundays are around here. It began with light snow which altered a lot of church schedules but Debbie and I were able to make it to the pulpit supply assignment I’d accepted in Floyd County earlier last week. I was reminded of Matthew 18:20, “For where two or [...]
