Girl Scouts @ Camp
Earlier this month, we hosted a three-day camp for some girl scouts in the area. This was the first camp most of the scouts had been to, and they loved it! The group plans to come again in the future. While they were here, several unsaved scouts heard the gospel clearly. Please pray that God would save them, in His time, for His glory.

Please Pray: Staff, Campers, and Air Conditioning
God has provided a kitchen manager for 2 of our 5 weeks of summer camp, along with several counselors and kitchen staff! Please pray with us that He would bring together the right staff members for this summer.
Please continue to pray for campers, too! Pray not only that more would register, but that each one coming would have a heart ready to live out what they learn from God's Word at camp.
Finally, please pray that if it's God's will, He would provide the funds for us to install air conditioning in the rec room by summertime. Adding air conditioning to this building will provide a cool place for some chapels, as well as free time and rainy-day activities.

Adventures with a New PA System
Last month, God not only provided funds to add a PA system to the train... He also enabled us to install speakers and most of the wiring! By now, the PA system would be finished, if it weren't for just one problem: the old generator we used for power isn't working correctly. It could have ruined the speaker system, were it not for a handy surge protector! A new power inverter has arrived, and will be installed shortly. Even in setbacks, God is faithful to protect and provide for every need.

Camperships
Each summer, several campers who couldn't normally attend camp receive a "campership." Several of last year's campership recipients have already asked to be put on this year's waiting list!
So far, we have received $200 in campership funds, out of a goal of $3,000. Please pray with us that God would provide through His people to help send children to Camp Sunrise this summer. If you believe God would have you give toward a campership, you can do so at the link below.

Answered Prayer: the Boys' Lodge Roof
This month, a family donated funds to finish replacing the Boys' Lodge roof! We're so thankful that God provided the money to finish the last third of this project. The construction company that is replacing the roof has lots of other work to do, but plans to finish the job before summer.

Coming Up Next...
A third retreat group is arriving at the end of this month. Then we have two special-needs public school classes, other day groups, and a church camp coming in April. Please pray for God to work in the heart of each guest. We look forward to sharing what God does in the next newsletter!
Thanks so much for reading and praying,
