Tractor for Estancia Maranatha

Estancia Maranatha is a 295 acres Camp that was founded by Robert Doolittle in the mid 1970's.
In the late 1990's Robert handed the camp over to his son Peter.
They have camps for Teens, Adolescence, Sunday School Teachers, Young Ladies, Family, Youth, Married Ladies, and Couples.
CAMP, Int'l was made aware of their need for a new tractor so we gave them the money to buy one.

Preaching at Peter Doolittle's church

Sunday we headed over to Peter Doolittles Church where Anthony preached Sunday morning and evening.

April 18th-21st was Teen camp at Estancia Maranata. Daniel, Bekah, Aaron and I went along with the Duartes and 3 kids from church. Saturday night we came back home and had a service at sister Ilza's house, had service Sunday and then headed back to camp Sunday night.

We had a fun time there and made many memories together :)

Cleaning for Youth Camp

Tuesday we went out to Estancia Maranata (Camp Maranatha) to help Peter Doolittle and some folks from his church clean Camp for the upcoming Youth Camp this weekend (April 18th-21st).

Dad used the tractor and cut the grass (and yes, it's even more dangerous than it looks!).

The Girls split up into two different teams - one cleaning the kitchen and preparing lunch for the crew and one cleaning all the bathrooms, dormers and other places used for the camp. Bekah and I joined the "dormer cleaners" while Esther and Mom helped in the kitchen that way Mom could be close to Anna.

The Boys Dorm

Scrubbin' floors brazilian style!

The boys worked on raking leaves, chopping trees down, hauling water for the cleaners and just about anything else! They were a big help!

Computer for Peter Doolittle

After CAMP Int'l learned that Peter's computer crashed, we decided to get him a new one so that he can keep in contact with his supporting churches.



Peter has been in Brazil since the late 1990's and is a 2nd generation missionary.
He runs Estancia Maranatha.
