HBBC in Helena 2011 Week 1 Day 4
Posted by Dave Hawkins
Thursday came and Thursday went before we knew it. The Lord blessed all of us by allowing us to be involved with the All Church Challenge this year. It seems like yesterday that McCauley and Elsie were greeting me with a large iced coffee at the Delta Terminal in Memphis and then yesterday Charlie and I zoomed them back. Unfortunately, we missed the awards ceremony where Ben, Leonora and the Newell kids for honored for the 10 years of their life given to Phillips County. Ray Higgins from CBF Arkansas and Together For Hope told of the millions of dollars brought into the community and 5 new buildings created during “The Newell” era.
You really understand and appreciate this when you see people standing in line, hoping a slot will be available to participate in camp. Due to an aggressive pre-registration, we reached our ceiling of 120 children early this year. This follows a year when we weren’t full. The swim program is using lifeguards now that were trained at ACC swim camp. So many churches and so many people have invested time and energy here and MUST keep it going. Ben and Leonora are moving on but it’s time for us to step up and give Mollie Palmer the boost to grow the camp and make it more efficient. HBBC has been a large part of this program under Kristen’s leadership – Let’s help put it over the top as the new era begins.
