Today was a gorgeous day, as all the camp days have been so far. We are getting into the swing of things this spring, and we are having a blast. Each week we are so richly blessed with weather, children, volunteers, and a myriad of small things that work together and make the day a smooth one. In a world where so much does and can go wrong, it is a happy thing to have a God who uses our efforts to His glory!

It is a blessing each week to see how God works! We had so much fun sharing our lives and our hearts with the children. It is so exciting to know that He can use our humble efforts to further His Kingdom! Check out some of the pictures from today:

Once again we were blessed with wonderful weather so we could host some fun kids from the North of Houston. We would like to thank all the volunteers for letting themselves be used by God today!

March 15, 2008 First Day of Camp!

Today we were blessed with wonderful weather and eager volunteers. God graciously allowed all the pieces to fit together and allowed us a smooth first day of camp with lots of amazing people to share it with!

Our guests had an especially fun time with the horses.

God Can!

Can you see a chapel at Gospel Lakes Ranch? God Can! We've started raising funds for construction of a chapel at Gospel Lakes. Presently chapel is held in the hallway of the camp building. Our plan is to construct a new chapel at the highest point at the ranch. Besides the wonderful views and isolation of this area, it will provide a better environment to present the Gospel to all the of the children and adults attending Gospel Lakes. These children need to take a true church experience back with them to the inner city.

Within just a few weeks, there has been over $1,000 raised in the can on the front counter at camp. Please help us by making a one time contribution to the God Can, and help put a chapel at the camp. To donate please fill out one of the forms here: http://www.gospellakes.org/donations.html and mail it to the camp, or better yet, stop by one Saturday to see what wonderful things happen for the inner city children of Houston, and the volunteers. God Can!
