November 28 Baptisms
The church family enjoyed having services at camp on Sunday, November 28th. to witness the baptisms of Roberto and Jonathan. Praise the Lord the very clear salvation testimonies these two men gave.

Summer Work at Camp
We all work at different times to keep lawns mowed at camp during the summer months, a task that takes many hours. We're so grateful for Martin and Sandra who live on location, and even though Martin works full time secularly, they spend many hours cutting grass and watering trees and manning the drip lines. With very little rain in the last six weeks the survival of many of our trees depend on diligence in this mundane task. Some day people will sit in the shade of the trees, but few will be able to appreciate why they can!!!

Multi-purpose Room Near Completion
The tile floor of the multi-purpose room at church was laid recently! Soon the walls will be painted and fixtures installed. The next project will be plumbing and tiling the second bathroom. Praise the Lord for a gift that purchased the tile for the kitchen, multi-purpose room and second bathroom.
Men's Group Closing Event
Each year most of the men and their sons meet one morning a month for a men's breakfast and study. At the end of the year it's become a tradition to gather at camp and have "choripanes" (sausage on a bun). Nearly 30 men and their sons were present on December 13th. for the event.

We praise the Lord for a fantastic group of men. The potential for leadership is great. Pray for our men that they will step up to the plate: at home and in the local church.
