We expect to see great things happen this year.  Please keep us in your prayers this season.  We can’t say enough about the importance of our supporters praying for the success of this ministry.  Prayer is the best foundation to build upon and we know it has kept us sustained for all of these years.  This is the 39th year of ministry for Camp Penuel as an organization.  This is the 18th year for Camp Penuel East and our 5th year as the Directors of this ministry.  You couldn’t sustain this kind of ministry for this long without the love and support of a lot of wonderful people.  It cost a lot to run a free camp, but think of the cost of not doing this ministry.  Who would reach these children that so many have written off or considered them just another statistic?  Who would tell them about Jesus and show them how to receive Him as their Savior?  Thank you for considering the cost and believing in the mission of Camp Penuel.
