March 2011 Texas Baptist Encampment www.texasbaptistencampment.org
Texas Baptist Encampment, what a privilege to serve at this place.
A brief look around at the activities and the actions shows one that the ministry here is “to spread the Gospel Message of Jesus”. The camp is not only a Christian Camp but also an example to the community of Christian action and involvement. Community events are welcomed and encouraged. When people attend any event at the camp, they will “know we are Christians…”.
Following is a pictorial of some of the SOWER activities for March 2011.
The March SOWERs crew (Eight Couples) Left to right: Roger and Marilyn,(WI). John (Hidden behind Marilyn) and Mary (FullTime RVers), Marion and Donna (FT), Don and “Charlie” (WI), Don and Jenny (FT), Ben and Erna (Ontario), Gerald and Darlene (IA), Lester-(Hidden behind Gerald) and Barb (MI).
- Each day starts with devotions. Like all months, this time is an integral part of the ministry.
- The ladies did a lot of work on the serving line for the camp meals. Here Donna, Erna, “Charlie”, Barb and Mary are “on the line”.

Marion and John spent a lot of hard labor and time on the high-lift installing light and sound bars in the Tabernacle and the conference center.
Don installed a rope-tie on a beam in the tabernacle for the balloon drop.
We had another great experience at this camp and ever so thankful to be able to serve.
Thank you for your prayers and contributions.
Love from Don and Jenny.
