Camp Voice of Truth

Evan and I have these 2 really awesome friends, Nadeena and Mike, who have an amazing vision. They have the vision for a Christian Family Camp.

Somewhere that families can go and enjoy a weekend together.

Somewhere that kids can play, parents can enjoy time away from the hustle of life, and a place where God is the center of all things.

Right now, the camp is starting to take shape.

It's on a really big piece of property in rural Lanette, Alabama.

In the picture you can see the expanse of the property.

Right now, it's simply a few graded roads and a bunch of trees.

There is also a bath house that was constructed this past year.

But there is a 10 acre lake under construction and within a few years there should be 4 cabins and RV hook-ups for campers.

Bath House

This past weekend, our family and several other families went down to help out with a few small projects and the hang out.

We did a little tiling in the girl's bathroom and the guys built partitions for the shower area.

Simple stuff that will make a big difference.

But the best part was that we all enjoyed hearing about the vision of this great place and how God is at work.

We also had little lessons throughout the weekend about having a true relationship with God.

And the relationships that we already had with the other families there were strengthened this weekend with our time spent working and playing together.

We truly had an awesome weekend!

I'll leave you with two pictures. The first is of Mike reading form the Bible at the highest point at the camp. It's a simple picture, but it's beautiful to see a man who is giving it all to God to control. And he and Nadeena are in 100%.

And finally, this is a picture of some of the kids that were with us this weekend.

The pile of rocks in front of them are rocks that have been carried up the hill by each person who has come to visit Camp Voice of Truth.

The kids took turns placing their rocks and it is the hope that in the years to come, they will return to this place with family and friends and maybe they can find their special rock.

I hope soon this pile of rocks will be huge. I will love for everyone to get a chance to visit this neat place.
