Down Payment for Stephenson Home

Hello! We are the Stephensons. Our family does ministry at LifeChange Camp,  a Christian Camp Ground in Clinton, Missouri. Here at camp we touch the lives of hundreds of kids during our programmed camps in the summer, getting them out of the city, away from their everyday business, and allowing them intentional space to connect with God and each other. LifeChange Camp also hosts all sorts of retreats during the rest of the year: women's retreats, men's retreats, family camps, church staff retreats, etc., always striving to provide a beautiful, restful, God-centered environment in which these groups can truly encounter the Lord. 

We have been serving here at LifeChange for nearly a year now, and during that year have been searching together with the directors at LifeChange for a housing solution that allows our family to live near the camp, so that we can minister well. Morgan is the Facilities Director, and as such needs to be where he can reach Camp quickly to fix things. This month, we feel that God has led us to a house 10 minutes away from Camp, out in the country, with 5 acres. We absolutely love the location and the house, and look forward to working on it and moving in! 

We will be working together with LifeChange Camp to make the payments for this piece of property, but we need $8,500 for the down payment. We would be honored if you would prayerfully consider giving to help our family buy this home!

LifeChange has given a $3000 matching grant toward this down payment -- so your dollars will be matched by them, up to $3000.
