Our God continues to bless the ministry here on the mountain!

   We have someone working on the lodge floor, in between his other jobs. We could use any help. We are planning a work day on Saturday, March 8. Please help if you can!!

   FBC Spartanburg is

working with the water/lodge committee here to have a storage shed put up in order to store lawn equipment.

Then they are bringing

 the lawn

equipment !!!

Then the kids to
use it!!

   The committee has agreed to make the shed larger in order to store camp supplies.

   It is wonderful having these two groups working together with us.

  I can’t wait to

see what God

is going to do next!

  God is so wonderful in how He provides through the hearts of others!

  Thank you for your response to the financial help through the winter article.

   We are still staying busy!

  Our Christmas party for the kids was great! It is good to see some of the kids that we do not see all year.  Again God provided so abundantly for this party for them. We had a small live nativity  while Eric narrated the

 Shepard's view.

   We also had our annual dinner for camp workers. That is always a fun and casual time for those of us who stay so busy in the summer. It is mainly a thank you  for those who give so sacrificially      

   Eric has been making room for a  shed behind the lodge (See section above for details).

     We also have an older man staying here for  awhile.

He had been helping with the Cross Trails Youth Ranch. He had to leave the property with their loss of lease. He has been a great help for us as well. Whenever a project is going on he is right there to pitch in.

   The check book gets very low every winter, but the needs go on. Please be in prayer and listen to God’s direction.

  God will bless you when you do His will!!!

Please be in prayer for Faith’s back. I can only be up for a limited amount of time before it becomes to painful. So I am up  and down when getting things done.

This is limiting me with getting items for the Dinner/Auction.

If you would like to help in that area. Let me know. Or if you have any items you would like to donate then please call. Pray with me as to whether I should do the auction again this year. So between Eric and I We are a decrepit family.

 The good side of this is that I am getting a lot of paper work done in my down time.

   I have a praise that I have not had bronchitis this winter! My wonderful Dr Stargel makes sure I am taking all the meds I need to keep to help with that. Plus I have taken other steps to help, but the main thing is your wonderful prayers!

The Johns are doing ok after the fire. They still need a bigger place to live in. Wanda would like to live closer to us.

   Jimmy, the father, had a stroke last week and they are doing  a lot of tests. Pray that he will come to know Jesus.

   Jimmy, the son, is still in detention. Pray

he will get the mental help he needs and that he will give his life back to our Savoir.

   Little Eric is doing well, he is living in Keavy with a family so he can get to work easily. We miss him around here, He is like our own. 

   Pray for him to make wise decisions and get

back into church.

Wanda, the mother, is so wonderful to come out to help us get ready for events and anything I need help with. Again in reaching out to others . God makes them a blessing to you! Pray that she will give her life fully to God and will desire to  get into a church.

  Please be in Prayer for Karen Long and her family.

  Karen is the director for Cross Trails Youth Ranch. Before she found out she needed to move. They found

she had cancer and she had to have surgery immediately. She has come though her chemo treatments very well.

  Then she had the stress of the move.

While still working on

fencing for her animals here on the property. The doctors found a mass in her mothers lung. Another immediate surgery.

  Needless to say her stress level is sky high.

Thank you!!!!!!!!
