We are so thankful for your prayers and support for our ministry at
Venture Teams (VTI). We would like to let you know about a pressing
need. We have an urgent need for $23,000 to replace the roofing at
Discovery Lodge, our team training & retreat centre. I'll let Jim Nelson, our Maintenance Manager, tell you about it:When my wife and I joined VTI in August 2008, I was truly amazed at the facility we have at Discovery Lodge. The setting is idyllic, and the infrastructure is so suitable for a ministry such as this. I believe the Lord has truly set our "lines in pleasant places" (Ps. 16:6). We can all be truly thankful to the Lord for so blessing us.
Now, sixteen months later, my enthusiasm for Discovery Lodge has not waned. However, I see a few pressing needs. Our greatest need is for new roofing on the buildings (Lodge, Chapel, and Quad). The Lodge is in particularly desperate condition. The age of the shingles, together with some nasty weather, has brought us to this point. $23,000 is my estimate for materials (only) to reshingle the three buildings.
To maintain what the Lord has blessed us with, we need to move on this project. This is where we need the Lord's people to step in and give us a hand.
Would you consider helping us reach our goal of $23,000 for this project, and invest in a facility that is so integral to our ministry? Donations can be made online (select Fund/designation 1.1) through the mail (send cheque with donation form) or by phoning our office at 1.800.565.3818 with credit card information (office closes December 24 and reopens January 4). Thank you so much!
Eternal Blessings!
