 2010-2011 Fiscal Year Marks Another Year of Blessings at LaMoineWednesday, October 5, 2011
For 10 years, I have been serving with you as we work together to impact lives for Christ through the ministry of Christian camping. During these 10 years, I have come to know for certain that God loves this camp and His Spirit dwells here, blessing and protecting this special place. This fact alone has given me great peace and comfort. |
 New Record at LaMoine Camp's PondWednesday, October 5, 2011 On September 28, 2011, Program Manager, Matthew Churchill, headed to the pond to relax and cast his line a few times. Little did he know how the evening’s events would unfold. About 7:00pm on Wednesday evening Matthew decided that he would cast one last time before heading back to the house to help put his little girl to bed. |

Summer Camp Kick-off Meeting March 10thThursday, March 3, 2011
He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.” Mark 9: 36 & 37
When I read this scripture, I can’t help but think of our work at the camp. |
 Snow, Snow GO AWAY!Thursday, February 3, 2011 Wednesday morning, February 2, 2011, had the camp under nearly 18" of snow and as you can see much more than that in drifted areas. Jon was able to use our tractor to clear away a car width path from the camp residence garage to the road and Doug shoveled a walking path from the house to the office. I'm afraid it will take much longer to get our parking lot cleared. |

 "What Are You THANKFUL For?"Monday, November 8, 2010
“What are you thankful for?” I’m thankful for ‘HEAVEN’.
Heaven is my true home. Heaven is a wonderfully glorious place. Heaven is a certain hope. The scriptures tell us that we are “strangers” and “aliens” in this world. As Christians our citizenship is in Heaven. |

 Summer Camp is Winding DownSunday, August 1, 2010 The summer camp season is winding down. Right now, we are in our last week of hosting young campers. Currently there are seventy-five 5th and 6th graders on site. This is really a great age to work with because they are so open to learning about Jesus and what it means to give their life over to Him. |
 Summer Camp Half Way Over AlreadyWednesday, July 14, 2010 It is hard to believe that we are halfway through this summer camp season. We have already witnessed many blessings: excellent worship music, challenging messages, great Missions offerings, and several life-changing decisions made for the Lord. Baptisms in our pool are the greatest blessing of all. Nothing can compare to the blessings of summer camp at LaMoine. |
 Summer Camp 2010 is Off and Running!Tuesday, June 22, 2010 Summer Camp 2010 is off and running and it is a WET one! The rains have come and gone and come again many times early in our season. The campers don't mind though as long as they can get wet in our huge swimming pool. God has kept everyone safe here at LaMoine through the storms of June and provided several spiritual highs already. |

 The Fall Season is Filled with God's Beauty at the CampTuesday, November 3, 2009
Wow, can you believe it’s already November? This year has really flown by. The majority of the leaves have already fallen around the camp and winter is just around the corner. I do love this time of year though; the cooler weather, seeing the deer on the property, hosting many retreats of various types, and of course Thanksgiving and Christmas. |
Golf Benefit was a "Ball"!Friday, September 25, 2009 The 18th Annual Golf Benefit for LaMoine Christian Service Camp and Campus Student's for Christ at Western Illinois University was once again a huge success.

After expenses, more than $3,000. |
