2007 - Let the Miracles Begin
Pray for Bro. Mark Jolley. Hundreds of believers throughout the state of Alabama and beyond are already providing an incredible prayer covering for Mark. Because of this, Mark has become the first vessel through which God has performed His first miracle in our camping ministry.
Mark Jolley is a faithful member of COGOP and the body of Christ, and has served (and continues to serve) in the camping ministry for several years. Concerning his service, Mark served sacrificially in 2006 by taking Leave Without Pay during the week of Senior camp after working his first two weeks with a new employer. He's a true warrior, and desires to follow Christ and be a witness, no matter what his circumstances.
On Tuesday, December 12, 2006, Mark received results back from a December 8th biopsy of an arm-pit lymph node showing positive for melanoma cancer. Since then, Mark has visited his physician, had consultation with doctors at UAB hospital, and today (Jan. 9th, 2007) is back home from Houston, Texas after undergoing tests, surgery, and seeing one of only two doctors in the world who specializes in melanoma cancer.
Read about a continuous stream of God's miracles, from Mark himself, as he testifies of his journey of witness and healing in a followup blog posting right here.....coming soon.

2007 Financial Update
Dear Fellow Laborer:
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ at the beginning of a brand new year!
On behalf of the Camp Boothe Board, we would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to you for all you have done to support the camp and camping ministry. Your support is vital to the success of this ministry. Our prayers are that God will richly reward you for your giving and support. It is through these efforts that so many souls have been blessed, and that all the camp improvements have been, and continue to be made.
As you know, we were able to pay approximately $70,000.00 on the construction loan this past year. Also a significant amount of street paving was done in late summer as well as re-sealing the existing asphalt. It was necessary to replace three of the large facility heating and cooling units this year as well as the unit on the walk-in freezer. Several smaller projects were also completed, including repainting the inside of all the buildings. International Youth Camp was held again at the camp this past year and is scheduled to be here again in 2007. Rentals were up quite well-to God be the glory for great things he is doing!
We would like to humbly request that you continue giving in 2007 if possible. This will help toward the payment of the loan for Dorms 1 & 2 and the Multipurpose Building. This will also help us continue with future improvement projects for the facility. We are hoping to start a new Chapel as soon as the current indebtedness is paid off. With God's help and our faithful giving together, as well as rentals and 2% from some of the churches throughout the state, we feel this can be accomplished. May God continue to bless and give you a prosperous year.
Sincerely,
Raymon Sutton & Mike Patterson
