Message from Inspiration Hills
Dear Cursillo Friends,
I'm sure you are aware that Inspiration Hills is continuing to grow and is now entering a capital campaign to meet the needs. From an inspiring past of more than 35 years to build upon, we are reaching for a new horizon in response to ministry opportunities that our current facilities cannot accommodate. We are turning away groups that need more private rooms (rooms with queen beds and their own bathroom) and/or groups that want to prepare their own meals. The new Eaglecrest Lodge will meet this need and give us much more flexibility in scheduling groups.
Go to www.inspirationhills.org for the Case Statement, which explains the need for more space to grow and upgrades to maintain our excellent facilities. The following outlines the need:
· Major repairs on the pool (currently being addressed)
· New windows and doors in the current lodge and siding and windows on one of the houses
· Eaglecrest Lodge designed for smaller groups with three meetings spaces and three kitchens
· Expanded campground with a new bathhouse
· Endowment Fund. The churches have been very supportive as have a number of individuals, businesses and corporations and we are already half way to our goal of $1,700,000!
God is good - The Hills Are Alive!
The Cursillo Community understands the impact of an experience at Inspiration Hills. God has blessed this sacred place and the lives of kids and adults alike are impacted for the Kingdom. This is the first major capital campaign for Inspiration Hills and the response and affirmation is very encouraging. The gifts and prayers of the Fourth Day Community are vital to the ministry God has called us to do! Thank you for considering your support that will help Inspiration Hills "Soar to New Horizons".
Sincerely,
Ron Den Hartog
For the Board of Directors
