This is the view of Lake Calafquen that up till a few days ago was hidden from view on the camp. The Lican camp is located right on this beautiful lake and the campers enjoy swimming in its clear, clean waters. Unfortunately, brush and trees have grown up and overtaken many areas on camp and blocked the view of the beach. People have nowhere to sit and just talk and enjoy the view.
One area in particular, very close to the entrance to the beach was in need of a makeover.
The beach is just beyond those trees. We started working on this area last week. Our only crew was our family but the kids are learning was it means to lend hand and work hard!
This is the result after days or cutting, raking, burning, and cleaning up. We are hoping to pour some nice round cement table that will be weatherproofed for the rainy weather we often get around these parts.
Micah did his part by cutting away smaller trees. Morgan raked and Matti helped clean-up the trash that littered the area.We are looking forward to seeing families, teens, and kids use this area for relaxation. We hope to pour 10 tables that can accomodate 6-8 people each so that churches can have the option of having their meetings or special meals outside.
Many projects on camp are just like this one. There is barely any cost involved just a lot of hard work!
Thank you for your prayers as we continue to work on camp. We know God will use these beautiful grounds for His glory and for a harvest of souls this year.
