We had a staff meeting on Saturday night, just so that the full-time staff and some of the board members could give us an update on what was going on. We knew that there were things in the works that might help us get through the summer, but we didn't know much else. It turns out that one man decided to give us $300,000 to get us through our deficit for the rest of the summer. We were going to be coming up short about $100,000 a month, so that was EXACTLY what we needed. That money will go towards payroll, bills, etc. Also, some of the biggest and best camping consultants are coming to Horn Creek for free or for a ridiculously low price to help us get through the next year and learn how to thrive as a camp despite the economy and lack of tourism because of it.
After our meeting (that was extremely encouraging) we had a time of praise and worship. It was some of the most genuine praise I've ever experienced. Everyone there was so thankful for the way God provided so much within a week's time. Our prayers were literally answered in full. The full time staff have held this burden for so long, some of them giving up their paychecks to help pay bills. Now they are getting those paychecks back and their worries have been relieved in light of God's awesomeness. I can hardly believe it. I am so thankful and so amazed by God's ability to provide for us, and I think that blind faith may come more easily to me from now on.
So I'll end with this verse, because nothing seems impossible.
"For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you."
Matthew 17:20
Amen, Jesus.
