Prayer Requests From Bayside

Praise God for His presence at the Camp in so many ways. Pray for volunteers to come and help to bring the build to completion, for the contractors that they will do quality work, and finish what they have committed to do by deadline and that the inspectors of the work from HRM will approve EVERYTHING!

Please pray for strength, wisdom and peace for Bernie, Fred and Linda, David, Ben and the Board as they "run the race" of leading in this giant project. And pray for their families who have been making sacrifices from the beginning of the project.  Pray for the many decisions they are making.

Pray for campers to fill the camp to the capacity that it will be able to handle. And that God will bless exceedingly this the first year at the new site.

Pray for the Holy Spirit to empower the churches corporate to respond to the financial need as we borrow another $200,000 (making a total of $400,000) from the mortgage to pay contractors to complete the work by June 27th.

I do not believe that the Lord wants us to take on that financial burden and that He will warm the hearts of our churches corporate to make significant contributions now, to pay for the completed work, and firm pledges for the next 3 years for the ongoing ministry of Bayside Camp.
