My phone rings, a long distance area code, a prospective volunteer perhaps. Many times during the day I receive such calls. However, yesterday I answered and the sweet sound I heard was the voice of our injured volunteer. But what he said was even sweeter. He wasn't calling to talk about himself but to inquire about the family that he was helping when he fell. I had wonderful news to tell him, the family was moving into their house that very day. Praise God! What a blessing it has been to meet some of God's servants.
Which brings me to our cookout last evening. Good food, good fellowship and a good drenching rain. We had the pleasure of honoring the first responders to our dire situation. Larry and Virginia Vaalburg, Bob Mifflin and Gordon Marsden were our rock and continued to be our rock for the past year. What a wonderful time we had seeing them all again and being able to look upon their beautiful faces and say, "well done good and faithful servants." There are many more that have given of their time and resources and to them we say a heartfelt thank you.
We look forward to the second year of spreading the Good News through our Camp Hope ministry.
P.S. Paul Palmer was also a first responder and instrumental in starting Camp Hope as well. He was unable to attend as he was in India on mission work. A great big thank you to him!
