This is after the front porch was built.  We had a work day on Feb. 25, and about 15 volunteers showed up and helped build the porch.  Also OSB was put up and the vinyl siding was started on the side.  We are grateful for all who had a part in the work that was accomplished.

How the Ministry Began

I want to share some information on how this ministry was started. God spoke to Buddy a few years ago about returning to the U.S. and start a children's ministry in our area. The vision was to start a Christian Camp to minister to children who need to hear the gospel but may not be accepted in the traditional church settings. God created us all and each and every person deserves to be loved as God loves us. John 3:16. In 2009 we started a non-profit organization. After returning home from the foreign mission field this year our focus has been to begin construction to build the camp. The first phase was to move a house which was donated to the ministry to the property located at 3010 Fletcher Smith Rd. Cottonwood, Al 36320. The house is being renovated to serve as the office building. Phase 2 has begun. This is to build a pavilion. The roof is on and the concrete has been poured. The next step for the pavilion is to close in the back portion and for a small kitchen, storage area and 2 bathrooms. Kitchen cabinets, sinks and mirrors (for the bathrooms) have already been donated to use in this building. We are grateful for the donations and praise God for His provisions for this project. I will be posting pictures of the progress that has been made.
