UPDATE
from Mission Center President Kathy Clark:
  I want to impress upon everyone what a tremendous blessing the World Church's support has been to us. They are guiding us through the beginning steps of recovery.  It truly demonstrates the essence of community and we can be very thankful.
  Monday, May 12, the process of securing the campgrounds from further damage began and was completed on Tuesday.
  Thursday, May 15, the insurance adjuster  met with the Mission Center staff at the grounds for a walk-through of the damage.  Damage estimates will be forthcoming.
  Plans are that next Wednesday and Thursday further analysis of the grounds will be directed by the insurance company. 
  At this time, we are in the process of assessing the summer camping programs.  Cluster council leaders will be meeting with the Mission Center staff on Saturday morning, May 17, to discuss the camping options.
  We are very thankful for the outpouring of support and encouragement.  We ask again for your prayerful support while the process of rebuilding begins.
  Additional updates will appear on this page as progress warrants posting.  We plan to keep the progress of this entire rebuilding process posted.
