STAGE 2 - COMPLETED and DEBT FREE!!!
In August 2024, a storm destroyed over half of one of our buildings (Lakeside/300s) at the beloved West Texas Assembly of God Youth Camp.
The destruction was overwhelming, but God and the prayers of His people from literally around the world increased our faith for what can be.
STAGE 1 - Demolition, installation of enhanced, engineered trusses, and a new roof were completed in January 2025, DEBT FREE! Money and volunteers came from well beyond the confines of West Texas. It was a miracle!
Then we had to divert all prayers and energy to all the needs of hosting summer camps. The broken components of 8 rooms, a conference room, a commercial kitchen, and speakers’ rooms still loomed large. The estimated amount of money necessary to fix was six figures.
STAGE 2 - We jumped back into restoring the building just 9 WEEKS AGO. With a prayer and hope that God would meet every need (Philippians 4v19). And guess what? GOD DID IT!
We hosted the “West of 50s” retreat beginning this past week (The week of October 12). Even as people arrived, we were still at work installing toilets, cleaning the property, and moving furniture. All the while, we were pleading for the blood of Jesus to help us. GOD DID IT!
Look at the pictures. Eight rooms have been restored. We hosted 100+ people. To God be the glory!
STAGE 3 - It’s upon us. We are not looking back! We are restoring the conference room, kitchen, and speaker’s room. The cost is roughly 1/3 of what it should be: $35,910. The goal: Finish by the end of November. It will be incredible! It will look amazing! Pray for us to steward this moment faithfully for the glory of God and the ministry of the West Texas District Campground. Pray for more prayers, more faith, and the givers to help.
Oh, and we will not stop with STAGE 3. Pray to ignite our imaginations with the possibilities of what is next. It’s already being talked about…STAGE 4 - a concrete slab and the finishing touches of the outside of the building. And then, we move on to a much BIGGER DREAM! More to come!
