Uphill Struggle

September 5th, 2008

Opendoor Project - ExmouthAt Camp this year we organised a special offering as a gift to the Kingsway Church to support the OpenDoor project which has been set-up in Exmouth. During the service on Sunday we heard about a young guy, Dan, who was intending to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise money for the project.  It was set-up to make a positive difference to the local community by providing services which meet the pratical needs of vulnerable people.  More details are available on the website and in their latest newsletter.

Anyway, I’ve just received the following email from David Ley the OpenDoor project manager:

Hi, Ricky

I thought you might like to know that the guys reached John O’Groats on Monday this week at about 2pm. They were exhausted but thrilled to have made it. We haven’t met them yet to chat about their experiences, but I’ll hope to catch up with them soon.

Please say a big thank you to everyone on the camp team who contributed. Your encouragement to them was a great boost to their determination to reach the finish.

See you when you’re next in Exmouth, maybe.

Very many thanks again,

David

So thank you to everyone who contributed.  Please continue to pray for both the Kingsway Church and the exciting OpenDoor project.

Getting in the mood
Now this is more like camp weather.

Most of the staff are heading off to Camp tomorrow morning so please pray for safe travel and plenty of energy and enthusiasm as we set-up the site. We can’t promise good weather (although the next two weeks in Exmouth look pretty good!) but we do promise a fantastic time whatever the weather.

Don’t forget that we’ll be doing our best to post pictures and short updates to the website whilst we’re away, so keep checking back to see what we’re getting up to on the Advance Party, and encourage your friends and parents to check www.mk-camp.com regularly.  You never know, they might just see a picture of you!

See you in Exmouth on Monday!
