Prayer Requests

We have another pressing need for two refrigerators. They don’t have to be new — a couple of good used ones (if you have, or know of any) will be welcomed.

Please continue to pray for us in being able to meet our regular monthly expenses — and to be able to retire our indebtedness to the bank for the water lines and lake repairs. We are seeing it get smaller — but it is still there.

And, of course: Please be in continual prayer for the children and the staff whom the Lord will bless and choose and cause to approach His ministry of the gospel of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ that continually goes on here at Camp Del-Haven.

Work Day – April 7th

We had a wonderful start of this years Saturday work days for preparations of our up and coming camp season. Several folks — by the Spirit’s moving — showed up to help us out. Please be in prayer that this kind of assistance continues. It really encourages our hearts to witness this testimony of the Lord.

Mattress Matters Update

We thank the Lord for the rousing response we have had to our need for new mattresses for the bunks in the dorm. We need 32 — and to date we have received enough funds to purchase 14. Thank you so much! You are loved and appreciated! Please continue to pray for the need to be completely met.

Recruiting Staff Members

It is impossible to have camp without volunteers to help each summer with the camp operations and the camp program. If you or someone you know is looking for an opportunity to serve the Lord this summer and may be interested in helping at Del-Haven, please contact Sheri at sheri@campdelhaven.org or call 816-690-8465 in the evenings. Staff training for those working directly with the children will be held on June 4-7th – call or e-mail for more information.

Mattress Matters

We are in need of replacing the mattresses on the bunk beds in the dormitory. The mattresses we are currently using have wooden box frames built in and a few inches of foam on top. These are of such low quality that the wooden frames are breaking and the foam is sagging and tearing. We have a solution to fix the frames for the beds, but we are in need of 32 twin mattresses. We have located twin mattresses that we can purchase for $100 each. If you would like to help with this extra expense, please designate “mattress fund” with your donation. We will begin replacing them a few at a time as we are able.
