Just a glimpse in to what we have been up to....

Camp Ministry life has it's seasons of busyness - and the last few weeks have been one of the busier seasons. Many Church ministry people are really busy leading up to Easter. We are looking forward to Easter weekend so we can have a little breather! Here are some of the many things that we have been doing in the last 5 -6 weeks. (Not just me, but Penny as well)

• Finished up the process of remodeling the Multi-Purpose building Kitchen.
• Continued work on completing the Retreat Center basement!
  
• Hosted YOURLIFE 2.0 – Led and taught by six area campus ministries – challenging High School students to continue their walk with Christ as they head to college.
• Hosted THE SANDWICH for Jr. High Students. What a great, challenging retreat for the students who came!
• Sunday Church visits by Penny and Jim included Southland, Oswego, Fir Road, College Heights, Christ's Church of Oronogo, and Carl Junction Christian - doing everything from Children’s Church to preaching.
• Set up displays and handed out information at the Preaching Teaching Convention at OCC and the SMCEF meeting at Son Rise Christian in Marshfield.
• Hosted three marriage retreats at the Retreat Center.
• Hosted over 100 people staying at the Retreat Center and Camp Buildings for a whole week. These great folks, from Wichita, were involved in a national Homeschool Basketball tournament in Springfield. What a privilege to have them stay here at MBC!
• Worked with SIX different volunteer work groups – from Countryside Christian (Nixa), College Heights Christian School (two groups of 50 each day!), Central City Christian, FCC Kimberling City, and Glendale Christian in Springfield). WOW!
• Planning and preparing for our next great event: JR. BASH for Grade School kids! Check out the website for info!
• In addition, we have mailed out summer camp information to all of our mailing list and distributed Church packets to nearly every Church in our database!
  

I'm tired now!
