Hello Again!  It has been a long time since we have updated you on the happenings of Elim, so I thought I would give you a quick one.  We had our Grade School and Middle School winter programs over the past two weekends and have had several mid-week school groups including one here right now.  It is nice to have camp filled through the week, but it doesn't leave room for much down time!  Needless to say, between camps and the dorm renovation, we are busy!  We had great groups at each of our winter camp retreats and one kid accept Christ during Grade School Winter Camp!  Please pray with us that the words the kids have heard throughout the winter camps will continue to impact them back at home.  Pray that they will continue to grow in faith and that the seeds planted in those that don't know Him would be nurtured outside of camp grounds.

The East Dorm Project is moving along.  It is fun to see the progress made every day.  I am posting pictures today so hopefully you will be able to get a better idea of everything I am talking about!  I just asked Shawn for a brief project update.  He told me that on the interior, the furnaces are in and that we are underway with the electrical.  The plumbing is waiting inspection, and the framing is completed!  On the exterior the decking is laid and they are getting ready to install the porch roofs.  Shawn has also started building all the beds for the new dorm.  No more old, squeaky metal bunks!  A huge thank you to the honeymooners from LBC for coming up this past weekend and helping with the bed building!

Dan and Teri are at Emmaus this week recruiting staff for this summer.  Please pray that God would work out our staffing needs as we all realize that our summer season is right around the corner!  Also continue to pray about the rest of the funding for the Equipping Today/Ensuring Tomorrow campaign.  We are excited about what God is doing with the purchasing of the new land and we are trusting that He will provide the money.

Thank you for your prayers!!!
