JANUARY AND FEBRUARY set us in motion for our most busy Winter season so far; thankfully the Lord has blessed us with two workamper couples to help us as well as some friends of the Ministry who have been coming down to the Valley for years. It has been an extremely cold and rainy season, but by all accounts not nearly as bad as wherever home was to those who came. Our construction crew was able to complete the Pavilion Kitchen and it has already been in use as of this posting.
We've had an influx of musicians who love to participate in the jams that the Valley is know for and they also did a couple of spur of the moment ones here as well. The Durocher family also came again; they have 12 children and they all sing and play instruments with their focus on Christian families. It has been a great Winter season!
