MARCH/APRIL 2019 UPDATE
Hello Friends! 

Since our last newsletter update in February, the highlight of the last few weeks without doubt has been our annual Garden Route Youth Camp. With most of our other ministries and those of our Knysna Hope team having remained consistent of late, we thought we would focus exclusively on the camp for this update. 

All told, we had 42 teenagers attend our camp this year! Thats up about 15 from last year, so that was very encouraging. The week was incredible! We're so thankful for how God was moving among this group of teenagers. The vast majority of them are connected to our broader team in some way, so we can maintain the connections made during camp as we now turn to the longer-term discipleship process. 

Though I (Caleb) am the camp director, the truth is that nothing would have been possible without our incredible team of support staff and counselors diving into the camp experience with no hesitation. It was truly a privilege to work with such a selfless and servant-hearted team. 

Thank you so much for many of you who were praying for and who financially contributed to sponsor campers. For many, this was the first time to ever experience something like this and for others, they have been to all three of our camps. Their attendance would not have been possible without your prayers and sacrifice. 

Below is a video of the highlights of the camp week. We hope you enjoy watching!

Please continue to pray for these campers, as they're now back at home and school is back in session. Pray that they will remember, apply, and share what they have learned at camp. And pray for us as a team as we continue to minister and disciple these teens, both to faith in Christ, and in their Christian journey. 

In closing, please be sure to read about our support-raising update below. There isn't any change as of now, but within the next week, we have some incredible (and life-altering) news that we will be sharing with you all! Please be on the lookout for that via email and on social media.

Thank you for your continues prayers and support for our family and ministry here in Knysna. We love you all!

FINANCIAL UPDATE
As you remember, in our update last October, we outlined our additional support-raising needs and plans to visit the US later this year (if you missed it, read it here). 

As of now, we are unchanged in our projected support levels for mid-2019, remaining at 53%. As you know, we have a limited time in the US to raise the remaining support for us to stay here in South Africa. So would you please pray about coming onto our monthly support team now? Or if you already are, would you consider increasing your monthly financial gift? Growing our support now is critical to reaching 100% by the end of our visit Stateside. Just click the "Support Us" button below!
