We are into the 2006 season and are finishing the first week of camp. Weather has been wonderful to us this week.

Our building project is still progressing, a little slower because we are still relying on volunteers and financial donations to complete the final stages of new facility. Douglas County has zoned us commercial so that places more "Codes" on us which also requires more money, time and inspections. I am looking forward to the day we can have the Ribbon Cutting!

Raintree Village has chosen us Camp Inagehi this summer for their children. We have been blessed to have Clarence and Lorraine Briscoe, houseparents, and four children here this week. They have all thoroughly enjoyed being here. The two children came free since the parents were on staff and one of the area congregations financed two scholarships for the other two children.

Announcement for your congregation:
The Briscoe's will be attending the 3rd week, bringing the other 20 children from Raintree Village. We are asking anyone who can sponsor a child for a week of camp to send a Tax Deductible donation of $140.00 to the following address.

Camp Inagehi, c/o Jeff York

Thank you for your help with this and/ or a contribution to our building fund.

For the children,

Camp Inagehi was founded as a place where boys and girls could go to learn about God in the midst of His creation while having fun in a Christian environment. The camp has been in existence since 1954, when it was called "Atlanta Bible Camp." The camp is now named "Inagehi," which means "dwelling in the wilderness." The camp is owned and operated by Atlanta Bible Camp, Inc. consisting of members of area churches of Christ. Campers are accepted regardless of race, creed or religious affiliations.

Camp Inagehi currently offers four great weeks of camp for all youth ages 9 to 18. The board of directors have also announced that beginning this year, the camp will hold a new day camp for all children ages 5 to 9. The camp serves approximately 500 campers every year and is hoping to expand the facilities to accommodate more campers and by adding additional weeks to the current schedule. The camp has planned several construction and renovation projects and is currently conducting a fundraising campaign in order to carry out the building plans.

Camp Inagehi is a non-profit organization funded entirely by camp fees and donations from individuals, businesses and churches who are interested in Christian camping. The camp is currently constructing a nurse's station and has several other major renovations that will be necessary in the near future. Volunteers, donations of materials and financial contributions are always gladly accepted. If you would like to help, or just want to learn more about Camp Inagehi, visit the camp's website at www.campinagehi.org. You may also contact the camp's head of facilities, Pat Hoisington, at (404) 431-5302.

Thanks to the support of many, we are able to reflect on a successful year at Camp Inagehi. Once again, the Sojourners encouraged us by helping prepare the camp facilities for our summer season. Thank you Sojourners!

Thanks to the hard work of our camp Directors and their staff members, we served 595 campers in our regular weeks of camp this year. The Wings of Hope ministry utilized our facility this past summer for a week of camp as well. Thank you to everyone involved in making our weeks of camp successful in 2005.

After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in late August, some associated with Camp Inagehi wanted to use the camp as a resource to provide shelter to those in need. We were amazed by the willingness of so many from local congregations to help prepare the camp, and by the donations of needed items. We were able to make the camp available to many as a temporary home until they made other arrangements. Much of what was donated to help hurricane victims later became a needed windfall for the Raintree Village Children's Home. Thank you to everyone involved in this good work.

As always we ask for your continued prayers and support for the upcoming year. We want to continue to teach Christ and positively affect the lives of young people at Camp Inagehi. Won t you help us bring one more to Christ in 2006? Come visit us at our Dwelling In The Wilderness.

In Christian Love,
Johnny McDaniel
President, Camp Inagehi
