JULY 2022

Please consider praying:

 

That we would finish strong with summer camps in July and have a smooth transition back into our retreat season. Many groups rent out Hidden Acres for their own summer camp or youth retreats in August and September. Pray that these groups have a wonderful time and an effective ministry while here.

 

That we would meet some important deadlines in the Danielson House. This farmhouse, moved to Hidden Acres in May 2021, is being renovated and will house our Ministry School and Residency students. We need to have the first and second floors finished by July 20th so our “Grow Teams” have a place to stay. Grow Teams are summer staff members who graciously stay after summer camp ends to help us serve retreat guests. After this date, we have until August 15th to finish the basement and furnish the entire house in time for our students arriving on August 17th.

 

That our full time staff would be prepared for our students’ arrival. We want to provide an accurate picture of each department at Hidden Acres to see if they enjoy that type of work. We also want to help them develop life skills and find direction in life, all while our staff pours into them spiritually.

 

That an upcoming project would go well. We’re partnering with Snyder Engineering to develop plans to upgrade our sewer/lagoon system. It’s a time-consuming process with tons of planning involved. We want to improve this system and develop it in a way that it’s able to serve our guests for the next 20-30 years.

 

That a few other small projects in the pipeline will proceed as God wills. All of these projects are in the planning stage and may very well take time as we face supply chain issues and other delays.
