Camp Fees Don’t Tell the Whole Story
Why your Gift Matters
Mt. Gilead has never been funded by camp fees alone. From the very first shovel in the ground in 1964, this ministry has been sustained by the faithful generosity of people who believe in what happens when young lives encounter God in this place.
Your gift — of any size — makes it possible for the next child to come to camp, the next staff member to answer a calling, and the next building project to move forward without debt. There are many ways to be involved in what God is doing at Mt. Gilead.
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”— Philippians 4:19
NEW Ministry Expansion Opportunity
Redemption Canyon Property Acquisition
38.5 acres adjacent to Mt. Gilead — an unexpected blessing with endless possibilities
The Lord provided the opportunity for us to purchase 38.5 acres of property adjacent to Mt. Gilead.
This new property represents opportunities for expanded ministries as well as providing additional security to our current facility. We stand in awe of all God did to bring about this purchase.
As we move forward in this adventure with the Lord, we need you, our friends, to partner with us in prayer for continued provision as we pay back the loan of $3,275,000. There were several bidders with deeper pockets who were willing to bid higher, but the Lord brought us favor in the eyes of our neighbor and we were chosen. Glory to God.
The property provides us new options that were not possible before, such as:
- Serving smaller groups in an intimate setting — marriage conferences, counseling groups, leadership training, board retreats, and team-building retreats
- Serving two groups at the same time without disturbing one another
- Providing premium housing for guests who are unable to navigate the bunk beds at our main campus
- Lastly, but very importantly, these 38.5 acres increase our ability to better control the security of Mt. Gilead
Most Importantly, We Need Prayer
Please pray for God’s provision and guidance as we make plans for this unexpected blessing that has endless possibilities. We want to be focused on God’s plans, not our own.
Pray for financial partners to help us pay off this debt quickly.
