New Year's Reflections - 2010/2011

Blessed to be a blessing, struggling with the recession, looking back and planning for the future. Thanks to everyone of you who helped OWLS weather the storm and especially those who spread our contact information and mentioned our work to those we look forward to helping in the months ahead.

Please remember the ministries that were not able to make it this far amd pray for OWLS as we look for ways to somehow fill the gap for these kids.

Read it all in our latest newsletter, downloadable here Year End 2010 - Beginning 2011 Newsletter , or send me an email asking for it.

Please also be sure I have your email on file so I can be sure you are kept abreast of who we will be serving, where you can volunteer, where we will be going, what we will be doing, and what we will be discussing.

Yours in Christ,
Ben Simms, Director
Outdoor Wisdom Leadership School
