Lives are changed at Camp!™
If your camper isn’t yet signed up for one of this year’s Winter Blast weekend retreats, be sure to get more information and registration forms and get them signed-up!!
Our theme for this year, Arctic Knights Face The Battle, centers on the Armor of God (Ephesians 6) that followers of Christ have been given to resist the attacks of the evil one and live lives that bring glory to God. As always, the weekend will be filled with great winter fun like sledding, broomball, camp fines, night hikes, and winter gaga. We will also have games and demonstrations revolving around the medieval theme of knights and armor. The atmosphere of camp fun an experiential learning will be a great blessing to every camper who is able to join us!!

Dear Friends of Beechpoint,
God has given us clear direction and the Beechpoint Board of Directors has made a unanimous decision to commit to the purchase of the adjoining parcel of real estate! Thank you for your prayers and pledges of support!
Since the end of September, $51,000 has been pledged or given toward the project and “Friends of Beechpoint” are giving a $75,000 challenge grant. Every dollar given before July 31st, 2012, will be matched - up to $75,000! Please continue to pray that this opportunity will be completely funded by January 1st of 2013. Less than two months ago, we could not imagine how we could pursue the purchase of this property. It is exciting to see how God provides!
We sense that God’s timing has been amazing! Of course His timing is perfect! It is exciting to see. This ministry had been preparing to update our long range ministry and site plans for some time and had been taking steps in planning and preparing. Fifteen years ago a landscape architect assisted us in developing a master plan and he happened to “fit us in” for our update, as this opportunity presented itself. The planner was then in a position to evaluate and make recommendations on how to fit our ministry plans with the opportunities that this adjoining parcel would provide. Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to see your hand of provision.
Partnership with Opportunity 2012…
Thanks and blessings,
Mark Davidhizar

It has been exciting to see the enhancements that God has allowed—continuing to equip this ministry to assist in reaching the “Next Generation” for Christ. The PID Discipleship/Mentoring Program, Chicago Follow-up Director, Teen Leadership Program, exciting new retreats, excellent staff, Camp India Partnership, and the completion of the Lakeview Lodge, have all expanded the breadth and depth of Beechpoint’s outreach! Thank you for the part that you have played in reaching more children for Christ!
Fifteen years ago an adjoining parcel of land was identified through our long range site-planning process as an important component to future ministry growth and site integrity. The opportunity has come for us to consider the purchase of this 16 acre parcel and house. The owner is giving camp the first option to purchase this important piece before it is listed on the market.
I am contacting you because your past involvement shows that you would want to know, that you would want to pray, and that you may want to participate. Our neighbor has graciously allowed us until the end of October to make a decision on the purchase. Five percent of $225,000 (land and buildings) would be the required down payment with the balance due January 1st of 2013. Beechpoint’s Board is seeking to know God’s will through the support of His people. We are asking camp friends to give towards the down payment and/or pledge a donation (over the next twelve months) towards the purchase of the acreage. There is an urgency… Please let us know of your pledge by October 25th, so the camp board can be made aware of your support. The board will then confirm a decision before the November 1st deadline.
This opportunity is exciting because it provides space for possible program developments, cabin additions, ball fields, petting farm and horse pasture, winter sports area—and it includes a house that could be used as additional space to house guests, interns, summer staff, and offices. A very significant value to the property is that it would protect the current investments that have been made by acting as a ministry enhancement and as an invaluable buffer to future encroachment by outside development. We are excited!
I sense that God is providing this opportunity for us — Thank you for praying, caring and sharing.
Serving with you, Mark
