Hard work equals fixed roofs, does the same principal apply to lives?

Surprise X 2!  When we got here this spring we found that the back porch roof was collapsed.  Bummer!  The snow load was just too heavy.  Then as we started up camp we got a call from the power company saying that we will lose our power supply in mid July.  Huh....  The roof is fixed, we have a new Lighthouse roof, now we need to learn God's will for our power problem.

One has to wonder is the effort worth it?  Is it too hard to have a wilderness camp?

I know that God has used this place mightily in the past.  I know today 7 kids got baptized in the Montreal River, I know that we are training young leaders to be willing and able leaders as they go out to serve God after this summer.  So......We will see what God's plan is for this place.  We will ask for His will to be done.  We will be faithful in well doing no matter the circumstance and find joy in serving a God that cares for each of us more than we will ever know.

In all of this may God be glorified!!

Here is a picture of our new roof.

It took lots of effort to repair what had been broken.  I have heard from group leaders that it takes lots of effort to bring kids to Canadian Adventure.  I consistently hear from those same leaders that they never regret their hard work because they see change in the hearts of their kids as they spend time together at Canadian Adventure.  Gal 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
