Jacob's Ladder Camps had Chamber of Commerce weather today. A total of 12 guys from 4 different churches partcipated: Henderson Hills Baptist Church, West Moore Community Church, First Presbyterian of Edmond, and Skyline Church of OKC. We also had two guys from Houston here today.

Trim was installed in the gym. 6 hours of mowing on the camp play-field and ropes course areas. Two full loads of tree limbs were pruned and hauled off. Two low ropes course elements got a face lift. All of the sheeting was installed on bunk cabins #5 and #6. The camp looks awesome!!! Also this weekend we had a Father-Son Camp Out from HHBC. Tomorrow First Presbyterian of Edmond has their Confirmation Class come out for a day on the ropes course.Bunk House # 7 became a reality today by a generous gift from Steve Hurst. We will start construction as soon as Bunk House #8 is funded. There are two cabins on a pad. Bunk #5 has been made possible by Cornerstone Surgery Centers, Foundations Health Care, Until All Have Heard Foundation, and MedDevelop. Bunk #6 has been made possible by a generous gift by the Derrick Prentice Family. Bunks #1-4 have been funded by Commercial Brick Corporation.

JL's goal is to have the funds for the remaining 7 bunkhouse cabins funded or pledged by the end of 2008. We are half way there! The purpose of Jacob's Ladder Camps is to help fund the mission of Willow Springs Boys Ranch. JL is also an employment opportunity for the WSBR boys where they can learn work ethic, responsibility, and character development.

Thank you to all you guys who extravagantly gave of your time and resources today on all of these projects! God is a work! And so are so many of you who invest in WSBR and Jacob's Ladder. Thank you for investing your lives in this mission. Words can not express my appreciation. Thank you for the legacy that you are building at Willow Springs Boys Ranch!
