My friend Chauncey, minister of the gospel and longtime friend of the camp, posted this picture on Facebook yesterday.  He included this message:

"It is certainly not the 9th inning, our God is Great! It is, however, time to step up to the bat if you are able. At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors it was made known that $5,500 of an operating expense loan for last season still needs to be paid off. Additionally, there is a projected deficit to meet the budget for the coming camp season. Those present made it a goal to raise $25,000 before the beginning of the camp season, which is only 3 1/2 months away. I truly believe we can do it! Maybe you are not the one to hit a grand-slam homerun, but right now a bunch of 'hits' will add up to accomplish the goal. The address is available by clicking on the link provided above. Let's come together for this very important cause!
Please share this post and pass the word."

I'm excited about Chauncey's enthusiasm and the potential for God's people to respond to his appeal.  The camp is in need, so if you are able to help would you consider a one time, or regular monthly gift to be sent to:  Prairie States Christian Service Camp, P.O. Box 363, Watseka, IL 60970.

God is the giver of all good things, and we know he will continue to provide for us as we pray for his provision.  Pray with me that he will put it in the hearts of his people to give generously so that we might continue to teach young people about Jesus Christ until he returns!
