Wood Chopping Day!

 
Taking care of CCBC Colorado (as well as the kid's camp during the summer) requires a servants' heart. Not having a paid staff for maintenance and housekeeping chores means that there is always something that needs done.  That's where fire wood comes in... 



With the help of members from other Calvary's, two log-splitters, and several chainsaws, the incredibly large amount of wood required for the wood burning stoves (the campus's main heat source) was almost completely cut and split, from full logs to firewood, in one weekend. The Lord has been incredibly faithful to provide for all that needs to be done in this and other areas.



What an amazing thing to see so many willing servants of the Lord, come just to work and bless! The parsonage construction has also been incredibly blessed...the parsonage is where Pastor Jeff and his family of five call home.  However, it has been under construction for the entire semester, (meaning that most of their house is currently packed into an army tent that looks like something out of Arabian nights) and their family has had the joy of living together in a small one-room efficiency apartment for the last few months. Many people have come by to help - electricians, carpenters, plumbers, dry-wallers, stone masons and more!  One family faithfully gives their weekends to come, stay, and work on all the projects that need finished. 






Support from fellow Calvary Chapels comes in the form of people, supplies, and prayer. It is impossible to be here on this campus and look around the campus, see everything that is going on, how obstacles and hindrances are cleared and smoothed out of the way, and not realize that our God is living, true, faithful, real, and absolutely still working miracles today. Prayer works. Great is His faithfulness!
