Building Project Update
Over the last 66 years, passing faith on to the next generation has been lived out and realized over and over in the lives of thousands of children, youth and families here at Green Bay Bible Camp. That mission continues to impact households from generation to generation and today, we are committed as ever to impacting children and families with the transforming message of Jesus.
Places like Green Bay that are set apart for these purposes are far too rare and meet a critical need for families, churches and communities across Western Canada. It is more vital than ever that spaces and places like Green Bay be preserved and expanded for generations to come. We believe Green Bay Bible Camp is worth investing in, fighting for, protecting and growing together.
In this unique and challenging year, we have continued to step out in faith as we move this building project forward. Our Facilities team has worked to prepare the site for the project by moving buildings, preparing for tree and beach house demolitions and moving electrical. In the midst of this pandemic God has continued to provide. Generous donations have contributed to the ongoing work of the project and gifted individuals with practical skills and expertise in trades have stepped up to support this building project with their time, knowledge and abilities.
Currently we are waiting on the final building permit from the city and then we are set to begin! We are so excited to break ground when the final permits come in. Lord willing, we will start this project as soon as we have those final pieces.
We would love to invite you to partner with us in prayer for this project. Please pray with us:
- For the final permits
- For our Architect and Engineers
- For our Builders
- For the future of this building – that many would come and experience the love, grace and forgiveness of Jesus in this place
God is good, He continues to provide in miraculous ways for this project and we are so thankful. Your generosity, your prayers, your participation and your support are essential to bringing this vision to life. We have $2.2 million to start the project and bring the shell to lock up, and remain committed to not going into debt as we are continuing to fundraise the remaining $2.6 million for completion. We are beyond excited to share this journey with you. Thank you for partnering with us. It is a huge honour and with incredible excitement we continue to move on this project together.
Now that we are in the final stages before receiving the permit, we need your help to be ready to hit the ground running. If you are interested in becoming involved in a practical way: like praying, volunteering to come help “hands on” or investing financially in this project, please contact our Executive Director Jenn Koop at jenn@greenbay.bc.ca or by phone at 250-768-5884.
