I bet your first thought was, “Where would I get a pile of money?” Someone recently sent in an investment for camp in the form of a pile of money. Over time this individual had been saving her $1 and $5 bills. I suspect that like most of us she typically uses a credit card, but from time to time receives cash at the drive thru window, the convenience store or while shopping at the mall. She had been saving those 1’s and 5’s with the desire to invest them here at Arrowhead to support the camp and our program for adults with developmental disabilities.
So, I bet you are wondering what Arrowhead would do with a pile of money. Well, the timing is just right for this investment to have a huge impact. Last month we were blessed by a team of skilled volunteers who came to camp and replaced the roof on our maintenance building. Not only did they do a great job, but their home church sent us an investment that purchased all of the roofing material. Next week we have another group of volunteers who are coming to paint the exterior of the maintenance building. But that is not all. One of the roofers from last month’s project is coming back to camp (he happens to be a professional painter) to work with our volunteers. He will be leading the painting project which will ensure quality work and give our volunteers a great learning experience. This pile of money will be used to purchase paint and supplies for the project.
What a blessing! Arrowhead does not run with a few full time employees. The ministry is staffed, operated, managed, cared for and moving forward because of hundreds of staff and volunteers who dedicate themselves to the mission of Arrowhead and sacrifice their time, energy and talent as worship to God. We are so grateful and want to say “Thank You!” to all of our supporters.
