Helena 2011 Week 2 Camp Day 4 & Celebration
Posted by Dave Hawkins
What a glorious week it has been. Yep, We have had our ups and our downs but to we have all worked together under God’s direction, “Building the City”. We established that the four pillars for building God’s City were; Confession/Repentance, Reconciliation/Unity, Leadership and Work. The entire camp worked tirelessly together to build God’s city upon these pillars.
You will find numerous pictures further down in the blog. These first five are especially meaningful to all of the HBBC team as there is a story in one of the daily blogs relating to each of these pictures. Mr. Charlie and Miss Tina annually hold a picnic for 300 at their farm. The stories of Yawiakeem and Miss Helen are so touching from Bob and Carol. Bob and Carol , being on the Blessings Team had more opportunities for outreach than most of the team. We have all been fortunate enough to share in their experiences. Gray Brown and I were fortunate to have been called to help with “Miss Nora and “Mr. Curley”. What a blessing they were to us.
Hayes Barton has been in Helena for nine years. Bob and Carol and Kate have been there all or most of those years, building God’s City under the direction of Ben and Leonora Newell. Ben and Leonora are moving on and it is time for us to step up to the plate. This work must go on – we need to complete God’s work. I will be the first to tell you that this will be a work in progress forever, but we need to take the lead. Mollie Palmer and Kat Bahn will be in place, under the direction of Ray Higgins (CBF Arkansas) to lead the teams.
It would be so wonderful to go back next year with our largest team ever to help with this transition. We need for David With and Sarah Gordon to put their heads together and get our youth involved. We have a nice bus for transport and New Light Missionary Baptist has plenty of space near the B&B for overflow and an economical stay.
