and Mercy

The Lake Pointe campus was blessed with the Lord's protection in the recent tropical storms from hurricane Florence. The grounds remained mostly unharmed from the water and wind.

Thanks to all who showed up Friday to pack sand bags and help protect the campus from flooding. God was gracious, and although the camp us received nearly 5 inches of rain, it never came in a concentrated time.
