It’s been a couple of “crazy ” weeks lately in the run up to the opening of summer camp. I have a card in my office which reads, “Whatever turns up, grab it and do it.” It’s a paraphrase of Ecclesiastes 9:10a from The Message by Eugene Peterson. Well, that’s how many of my days have been spent recently. But as I wrote a friend yesterday, I wouldn’t trade my responsibilities for the Presidency of the United States or any other job!

The past week has brought a lot of good progress to the Mountain Cabin Project. It’s been slow since the Spring Work Week when the lights were installed and some insulation done. Then, through a contact with Pepsi Co, the Lord brought a local contractor who donated his crew’s labor to complete the rough electrical wiring last week. That was followed this week by a visit from a tremendous team of teens and adult leaders from the First Baptist Church in Dacula, GA and George Hauber, a long time friend of this ministry from Pennsylvania. Together they plumbed the bathroom, built partition walls, hung 12 foot sheet rock on the cathedral ceiling, put up wood board siding on the exterior and even made progress on the interior log wall.

We have a great God who combines the skills of many to accomplish what He plans. We are grateful to be a recipient of His goodness on this project.

Here are some pictures to bring you up to date.
