Hot Wings for Program Staff

Hello Camp Lovers,

Well, it has been a little stretch of time since you were last updated so let me see what I can do.

On the current news, we are hosting Vancouver Christian High School from, you guessed it, Vancouver. It is their junior/senior retreat so they are chilling, eating good food, and having a good time here at Jonah.

This weekend we had a work group that got a lot of stuff done around the grounds. They raked the field, got the plastic off the windows and cleaned up the remains of the Igloo (may she rest in peace). Igloo 2 is bought and ready to go, but we need to fix up the asphalt because it is not good enough yet. So if you have some extra cash and you have been thinking, “hmm, I sure wish I good buy some asphalt,” well, here is your chance.

In other news, the QuadCore (also known as the Program staff for this summer) was able to hang out for the first time as a group. The four of us went up to Olympia for the Program Advance which is an opportunity to hang out and learn from a bunch of fellow program people. It was a really good time that got us pumped up for this summer and we began thinking about our mission for this summer. Also, I had really good hot wings.

Well, keep us in your prayers. We still have a lot of retreat groups and summer is coming up fast and we are really excited about it.

Warm Weather to Keep Climbing

Hello, Hola, Hey, Greetings, Hi, Howdy, Aloha, Shalom,

Well, there is a few ways to say hello, but regardless I hope you all are doing well and worshiping Jesus. And if you are not… What are you doing?

It has been a good week here at Jonah. We have had the privilege to look at some more summer staff application stuff and we are praying that God will provide some dudes for His service this summer. God is a good God and I am confident He will provide all that is needed. 

On other news, the JBC men from Jefferson, OR came up for a quick (20 hour) retreat and left exhausted because of all the activities they crammed in. They played dodge ball, ate brownies, went caving, jumped off a 50 ft. platform, and went rock climbing, not to mention enjoying two meals from Grandma’s kitchen.

They went rock climbing? Is that what you are asking? That’s right, Jonah now has a portable rock wall with four routes to climb. It looks like real rock and has plenty of holds. We are currently raising money to purchase it. So if you are interested in supporting a great activity for campers of all ages call us up.

Also, it is beginning to warm up here at Jonah which gives me a hint that summer is coming with all of its warm weather, serving staff, and excited campers. Keep all of these things in your prayers so that Jesus is glorified through Jonah’s efforts.
