Getting Ready for Camping Season!
At L’Arcada…
…the Spring is preparation time for Summer Ministry! God provided five different teams from the United States to help us…what an amazing blessing!!! Because the Spanish government finally approved our expansion plans (after 15 years of trying), we are beginning to add winterized cabins. Through many gifts and talented contractors, the first two cabins are under construction! Praise God!! We will be able to house more campers and start to add weekend retreats! 
Please continue to pray for God’s provision as we look to add even more cabins in the future.
It takes much work to get the property ready for the campers and next weekend is a 
big Open House. Our staff works together to prepare…scrubbing, sweeping, getting the tepees up, 
mopping, mowing, raking, and lots more!
Camper registrations continue to come in…please pray with us that we will see the camp packed out this summer giving us the opportunity to share the Gospel with hundreds of young people and families! 
The tepees are up, our maintenance director has been working hard to have everything running efficiently, and we still have to clean the 13 platform tents in the wooded areas surrounding the tepees, but we are almost there!
Dave and I celebrated two years of living in Spain this past week! We are so very grateful to the Lord for all He has done in our lives and the way He has provided for us! We are thankful for the ministry partners that He has given us…we are amazed and humbled at His faithfulness!
