Missions Trip to Arrowhead

The summer is moving right along. At least it feels that way now. Our first Shepherds Camp session (two weeks long) was...crazy, fun, tough, long, exhausting, dependent, successful, stretching, demanding, beautiful, eye-opening, and a GREAT BLESSING. We had 70 campers and 40 staff members. We also had a missions team from Calvary Bible Church of Hanover. It was exciting to see 14 people hop out of the van ready to SERVE and make an IMPACT. They did a great job ministering to our staff and the campers. Not only did they immerse themselves in the program, they also tackled a hefty remodeling project. Seen below is our - completely redone Long Cabin. It has NEW walls, ceilings, electrical wiring, bathroom fixtures, doors, windows, exterior paint, painted floors, bunks, and furniture!



The Calvary team was here for the second week of the session - which turned out to be a VERY difficult week...for everyone. Besides having a full program with tons of staff, a 24 stomach bug jumped from person to person. Most of the Calvary team became ill towards the end of the trip. It was definitely NOT an expected part of their impact here at camp. However, they served well, worked hard, and completed their objectives as a team. God hasn't promised us easy sailing BUT, He has promised us everything we need for life and godliness.

The Long Cabin looks GREAT and he staff and campers LOVED having this special missions team that came to Shepherds Camp just for them.
