Hurricane Helene Update 2

Oh my goodness! Camp friends, you are amazing! We feel the love.
We are doing our best to continue to assess, but it is overwhelming. As we prioritize at Lutheridge, the goal is to get the roads clear so that power trucks can come in and repair the power. As I communicate with groups, that will be the focus right now. All groups will need to be self-contained, meaning food, drinking water, etc. Please, for now, email me at mitzie@gsbfr.com if you want to schedule a time to come. We have to think about several logistics for groups.
We haven’t been able to get images of Lutherock just yet. Please continue to lift up Nathan Boykin, who is there.
If you would like to make a gift for disaster recovery, you can do that online at www.novusway.org. Select “where needed most” or your camp of choice. If you’d like to mail a check to camp, include “Disaster and camp name” in the memo:
NovusWay Ministries
Po Box 830
Arden, NC 28704
For groups scheduled to come in the near future, we will be in touch in the coming week as we are able to get staff back into the office to assess. Some of your contacts likely still do not have good cell service. Thank you for your patience and care.
Truly camp friends! We are so grateful for you all!
We are still unable to post on our pages. Please share this to help get the word out.
Thanks,
Mitzie + Mike
