A beautiful evening sky at the end of our tubing hill
We are thankful to God for beautiful snowy weather these last few weekends for our Winter Retreats here at Camp Barakel. I’ve been able to work on the tubing hill a few times recently, which is one of my favorite things to do here. Campers love tubing and skating, so we are so glad that everything is up and running.
On Jan 25th, Sarah and I were able to speak in the Jr. High and Sr. High chapels at Jackson Christian High School (Sarah Bowman- class of ’99!). We had done several church presentations when we were raising missionary support to join Camp staff, but this time was not about us. We went to tell the teens about Camp Barakel and the opportunities for camping and the joy that is found in serving. Lord willing, the bleachers were filled with future campers, Techs, Engineers, Yaps, and Counselors.
So far we at Barakel have hosted three Father/Son retreats, one College and Career and two teen retreats. We have six more weekends before our winter season is over. We continue to pray for cold weather, snow, and lives to be changed through the Gospel.

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.
