Today started with a temp of 36 degrees and sunny but it
quickly became overcast and remained that way all day, with very little
wind. We had wanted to show you some pictures of
the camp facilities today but would be so much better with sunny sky. We do have a few pics and maybe tomorrow will
be a nicer day. Today we completed our
task of debris removal at the Agape Outdoor Worship Center. It is now ready for the upcoming wedding and
summer camping season. Otherwise we worked to clear other downed trees, helped with kitchen
duties and feeding the weekend campers, did a little hiking to take some
pictures around camp and enjoyed spending time with the staff.

Last night a good friend sent us pictures of the tornado damage back home. We were both struck by the irony of our being here doing volunteer storm cleanup work while other people were doing volunteer cleanup work in our county. God does work in ways that seem strange to us who can't see the big picture. We encourage you all to be
about helping someone else with something – anything. Just listen to that nudge of your spirit and
you will see a need you can fill.
