Camp Living Water
Camp Living Water is a retreat center in Swain County, along
Deep Creek, that offers excellent Christian summer camps for children of all
ages. (There are traditional camps and high-adventure experiences
for older kids.) The Women of Grace send a number of needy children to camp
every summer. We are seeking kids that you would like to recommend for these
scholarships.

Ohlin Update, of 3/25/10
Paul is back from Africa. Here’s what’s happening since he
returned.
“When
I fell off the barrel in Dongou, Congo while working on the wall of the
training center, I tore the rotator cuff on my left shoulder. It is
a bad tear. Pray for the surgery to repair it April
6. Also pray that I would be healed of the infectious disease
(probably filaria) that is raising my eosinophil level”. . (read more...)
