Praises From Lake Swan Camp

Unique Ministries:

We love each and every group we have throughout the summer.  Each group deserves to experience Christ's love.  To start this summer, we got to do so with two unique groups that often miss this opportunity.

Our first week of summer we had Royal Family Kids Camp.  This camp is for boys and girls in the foster care system.  One of the things they do is a birthday party where every kid gets to celebrate their birthday.  It's a great experience as many of these kids don't get to celebrate their birthday except at camp each year.  The main focus of this group is to show them God's love.  The birthday party is one tangible way of doing this.

A new group we had the pleasure of service in early June was Youth for Christ: Deaf Teen Camp.  The heart of their ministry is to show the kids they are not broken, but that God made them with a purpose.  The brokenness they do have is because of sin and that is why they need a relationship with Jesus.

Minder Makeover - Raising the Roof:

One of the biggest motivating factors for Minder Makeover is replacing the roof.  We have worked hard o get the original building and additions ready for the new roof.  Next up was purchasing the material for the new metal roof,  to the tune of $30,000.  Perry and the board committed to praying that this amount would be raised by June 15.  On June 14, we received three substantial checks in the mail, bringing our total to $30,889.  Praise God!  We are so grateful for the generosity of our donors who believe in what we do.  Minder Hall is the heart of our ministry.  Thanks to our donors, that heart will be well protected for many years to come.
