Colorado District Nazarenes,

We have experienced the goodness and mercy of God this week at our District Camp, Golden Bell.  The fire that came to our property destroyed acres of vegetation and some trees, but all buildings are safe and there was no loss of life.  We are praising God for this.  In many places you can see where the fire was stopped, changed direction, put out when if it should have gone further, we would be telling a different story.  In every way God has accomplished a miracle on our campground, and we are thankful.

It is now time for us to do our part as the Colorado District.  While we are hoping insurance will assist us to regain our footing, there are some things that will fall on the campground at this time.  I am challenging the District to raise $50,000 for Golden Bell on Sunday, November 10^th through a special offering.  This money will go to assist Golden Bell in recovering lost revenue, purchase seeds for reseeding meadows, immediate restoration projects, and other time sensitive costs.
