I’d like to thank whoever referred me ti the site to get certified as a grantwriter. And the person who gave me pointers on my Camp Yesu business plan.
I now have six grant essentials classes under my belt and have two more courses nearly completed.
Next, I will work on those tip I was given for biz plan, then finding the right piece of land.to begin applying for the grants.
Please keep Camp Yesu in prayer for ALL the pieces to come together to get it up and running. Also, when it All comes together, we will need partners and staff……

Likely you would be friends, I agree. We are in Missouri, right next door to you (state-wise). We bought an old 38 acre farm we plan to take self sufficient as a homestead. Our son has a mix if poultry he is already raising here. He got a job pretty quickly at a transmission rebuild place, now I just want to see him build a family. His wife left him two yrs ago just after their first anniversary. She had alot of mental issues from her childhood abuse and trauma. One if our girls and family live in attached mother in law which is cool. Our other daughter and family is a half hr from us at her in laws. Hey, what do you think of the idea of treehouse cabins for the camp? As a kid, my dad got me hooked on the idea of building a treehouse, but like everything else, alcohol robbed that too. My stepbrother and I got a platform done in the treehouse we tried to build as kids. Ever since my dad’s idea though, I have been a treehouse nut. Thought about building some her and turning our farm into a B&B with treehouse cabins, maybe eventually, but think how exciting for a kid to live in a treehouse when they just came out of a trauma situation. I kinda never grew up in that respect, I mean the name Julie means ‘youthful and one guided by truth’
I LOVE the idea!! As teenagers myself & a pair of twin brothers I hung out with built an enormous tree house-platform over 50 feet up in a Beech tree…of course we’re not talking that high but we did that. Great memories. A few years back I helped build and stock a fishing pond at the Isaac Walton Conservation club I belonged to, and we organized an annual Wounded Warriors day away from the VA Hospital…a resounding success every year. Changing of flag ceremony with a USMC Contingent kicked it off. Fishing is so healing, speaking of trauma victims. Just a thought? Wow, my gears just started turning… 😁👍🏽
You could also teach fishing to kids. What about hunting or foraging? I’m a rock freak also since my Grama taught me to beachcomb for agates on Olympic Penninsula in WA. I used the meager amount of money my dad left when he passed way for a commercial rock tumbler then picked up a combo unit (slicer, grinder, polisher) at a swap meet but recently got new portable equipment with first stimulus check. Man for our old church in Washington had a rock shop and he taught lessons in cabochan and wire wrapping. My husband and I hd a house in AZ for a year as investment and I joined a rock and gem club and learned alot about rockhounding. I’d like to teach kids these skills, the. There’s sewing, pottery, carpentry, etc;
I’m with you 💯 %. I love geology as well and have a great collection. I hope to find some geodes here as the lake gets let-down every winter for maintenance. I love to teach and fishing no problem. Any site that gets setup in this project can’t be teaching hunting. Insurance costs around firearms is too big a hassle, expense etc. But the idea’s great?! 😁
