FPC Camp Hope Needs

This morning I wanted to give an update on our current needs for those who are interested and able to help:

1. We still need volunteers to sign up to come down to work. Even though we currently have volunteers scheduled into 2007, we do have several empty weeks remaining in 2006.

2. We have money approved to build 3 new bunk houses for office space and additional housing. If you want to send a team here to build one (or more) of these houses, that would be fantastic. It would enable us to house more volunteers more comfortably and to house interns and longer term volunteers in something more spacious than the current facilities.

3. We are looking for interns that are willing to live and work here for periods of up to 2 years. These positions would not just be construction positions but ministry internships in which individuals can be actively involved in leading our mercy ministry efforts.

4. We are also looking for several staff positions in connection with our Camp Hope ministry.

5. We desperately need people who are willing to commit to pray for us on an ongoing basis. We need prayer for our church, the ministries of our church, for Camp Hope's outreach work, for the work of the gospel in the community. If you are willing/able to pray, we would ask you to commit to pray for some amount of time EVERY day for the work here.

If you can help in any of the ways mentioned above, please either email the church office (mblanassa@fpcgulfport.org) or call the office's main telephone number and ask to speak with Mary Beth or Lisa. We have already seen the Lord move in amazing ways here on the Coast over the last year, and we look forward in anticipation of what He will do in the coming year. Pray for us!
