SCA Eagle Bay update

Hello friends,

It has been five months since we have moved to Manitoba and a lot has happened. I started work at Eagle Bay on May 3rd. Skeptics agreed that there was no way we would be able to have summer camp in the 2008 year, but I think we all know that you should never doubt the power of God. We ended up running four week-long sessions and had an approximate total of one-hundred and twenty kids at camp this summer. How awesome!!! I will give all the glory to God. Why? Because registration forms didn't go out until the end of May. We had very few staff committed and two months is way too short a time period to get a camp together. God brought us the children, He also worked through the local churches to staff camp. I would like to thank Ashern Bible Church, Moosehorn Baptist Church, and Hilbre Bible Chapel for the support they have given not only to me but also to SCA Eagle Bay. I have also been blessed by Chad Bruneski and his steadfast presence here at Eagle Bay. He and his family have weathered many storms in the past few years and God will bless them for it. I believe that Chad's service and connection with the kids was a key in this summers success.
Since the end of summer we have been busy with guest groups and projects. There is still the need to complete the bathouse project. We need to raise around $10,000 to get the building to completion. The other immediate project we are in the middle of is the renovation of the area immediately to the east of the tuck shop. Chad, Darryl and I have already cleared the trees and we are planning the amount of back fill we will need. Hopefully by next summer we will have a space that is useful for the parents when they drop-off their campers. Pray that God will provide for our staffing needs as we are in need of more full-time staff.
Thank-you for all of your prayers and support.

Jon
