Dear Partner in Ministry,
I am writing you because your church sent campers and/or financial support for Lake Springfield Baptist Camp in 2008. Thank you for being one of the 39 key supporters of camping at Lake Springfield!
Because you have already shown your support for camping, I am asking for your help with a significant health and safety need at camp. The “Upper Bath House” at Lake Springfield is in desperate need of repairs. The Regional Ministry Board at its meeting in February 2009 authorized me to raise $6,000.00 for those repairs. We will be replacing doors, light fixtures, shower fixtures, and the roof. In addition, there are several plumbing and cosmetic issues which must be corrected. We plan on this work being done by volunteers. Because this work needs to be completed before the camping season, and no work will be authorized until we have the money in hand, we really need to receive gifts within the next two months. Even in these difficult financial times, this is not a lot of money, but time is of the essence.
Please send your gift to the Region as part of your regular “mission support” submission, but clearly identify amounts intended for “LSBC Bath House.” If the gifts should exceed the costs for this project, the excess will be applied to other priority maintenance needs at Lake Springfield Baptist Camp.
Thank you for your faithfulness that makes this important regional ministry possible.
Sincerely,
Rev. Dr. J. Dwight Stinnett, Executive Minister
American Baptist Churches of the Great Rivers Region
