Hello again, Oregon Conference family! As you may have heard, Gladstone Camp Meeting will return in 2025! We would like to thank everyone who contributed to making this wonderful event possible. While it has taken a few weeks to get numbers tallied from March, we are pleased to report that we truly saw the windows of heaven open to provide a great blessing toward this effort! This gave our administrative team the confidence to move forward with the event and begin to secure the necessary labor and materials needed to bring it all together.
Last time we gave you an update, we had received $147,000 towards our goal with $43,000 of this amount being matched funds. During the month of March, we received significant donations that have allowed us to take full advantage of the remainder of all $150,000 of matching funds! In total, we have received around $385,000 for camp meeting! This puts us within $5,000 of our fundraising goal!
At this time, I’m reminded of James 1:17 which says “every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights.” All of the blessings we have received in our lives come directly from the One who placed the stars in the sky and our earth into orbit. Your gifts for this event could have a monumental effect on someone attending this year, and it could even be the time they decide to give their heart to Jesus!
Thank you for your faithful support in this effort!
