From the President's Hand

Dear FCF members:

It looks as if Summer is right around the corner, with all the usual activities such as mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, and cleaning out the garage. This is also the time of year we need to start taking a look at Pow Wow activities. I just came home from a trip to Ranger Mountain to check out the cement work for the new water tower that will go up the weekend of May 16th. Please pray that all goes well with this phase of the project. I did see some more winter damage to the FCF fence. It's just about all on the ground now. We need to have a couple work weekends up on the mountain to fix things up. We will need about 30 2x6s, a box of 16 penny nails, and 13 treated poles to finish the fence. As for the rest of the camp, it looked real good. Carolyn and I saw a mother bear with two cubs at the bottom of the first big long hill. What a sight! It was great! I just hope they don't come to dinner at Pow Wow.

I would like to share my heart with you for a minute. As most of you know, Pow Wow has generally been a time when we concentrate on the spiritual needs of the boys. Over the past couple of years, I've noticed a need for us to reach out to the men as well. With this in mind, I am asking for help from a couple of our members who would be willing to stay back at the evening services and pray with the men who need prayer and encouragement. We will still need many men praying with the boys, but I believe we will miss the boat if we do not minister to all who attend Pow Wow. As always, be in pray during the evening services and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to the boy or man He would have you minister to.

We will need a couple of skits each night from FCF, so put on your thinking caps and see what you can come up with. It would be nice if we had one with just the Young Bucks and one with a mix of Old Timers and Young Bucks. If you want to help in this area, let me know right away.

There is just one last thing I would like to mention. As some of you know, I lost my capote and blowing horn at Pow Wow last year. It had been in the store after an evening service. It was nowhere to be found the next day, which was Sunday. When I left the mountain, I thought maybe it was in the bottom of my trunk after all. While we were up on the mountain this past weekend, I looked in the store again. I found my capote outside on the ground, shoved behind some lumber beside the store. It had been out in the weather and is beyond repair. I feel bad that instead of leaving my capote in the store where it would be safe from the weather, the person who took it and obviously didn't want it, left it outside to be ruined. My blowing horn was gone, which I feel real bad about. I just want to remind you to protect your belongings, as well as keep an eye out for anyone who does not belong in the store or FCF village.
