Dear Friends.
Boys Farm has been an exciting place this past month. What a blassing to be with the multitude of volunteers diligently working on the new cottage. Others have graciously fed not only the volunteers, but everyone on campuys with great meals for breakfast and lunch. The end is in sight for the completion of our new cottage for the boys. To see details about the cottage, click on "Projects" on our website. You can also view a video segment by WLTX TV. We are grateful for the coverage and I would encourage you to share the video with otehrs who may not know about the ministry of Boys Farm.
Currently we estimate the cottage needs $27,000 to owe no debt. As we read in Romans 13:8, Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, we not only want to pay the remaining cost of the cottage, but we are determined to continue to be good stewards of the daily budget and care of the boys. This includes summer camp and other activities.
During the month of May, many of your generously sent funds to sponsor a boy attending a Christian summer camp. This year the average cost for camp will run $230 for each boy. Whether you choose to designate your gift for sending a boy to camp; buying one or more square feet at $50/square foot for the new cottage; or giving faithfully to the ever-present daily operational needs, we are grateful for your support.
Boys Farm continues to be a faith-based ministry. We have been encouraged this past month by God bringing so many of His laborers to our campus for the common cause of providing a new cottage for the boys. We are excited to see what God is doing. He alone deserves our praise.
Your prayers and financial giving keep our doors open and allow us the privilege of ministering to the physical, spiritual, academic and emotional needs of the boys God brings to this campus.
By His Grace,
Marty Gilpatrick
Executive Director
