“Your faithfulness continues throughout generations.” – Psalm 119:90a

Dear Friends of Thousand Pines,


As I look back over the past year, I am constantly reminded of God’s faithfulness.


We kicked off 2025 with our Winter Camp, centered on the theme “Rhythms: Keeping in Step with the Spirit” from Galatians 5:25. This passage filled camp for over six weeks and blessed both campers and staff as we were reminded of our need to keep in step with the Spirit while serving our guests.

We also clearly saw God’s faithfulness in our Summer Camp Program. Over the summer, 62 campers gave their lives to Christ for the first time, and nearly 500 rededicated their faith. Praise God! He never fails to bear fruit in its season, and we are grateful to witness His work at Thousand Pines.

By the end of this year, we will complete the remodel of “The Bentley Cabin,” generously sponsored by the Bentley family. Generations have encountered Jesus in this space, and thanks to this remodel, many more will too.

We also saw the demolition of the five cabins lost in the Blizzard of 2023. Although we were sad to see them go, we trust that God is making our paths straight as we plan to rebuild in 2026.

This year we recognized a significant need: much of the audio-visual equipment in our chapels is in need of repair or replacement. These tools, once vital in supporting worship, are now becoming distractions. Our hope is that every camper can hear the message clearly and experience worship without interruption.


We trust God’s faithfulness as we seek His guidance for this need. Would you consider taking part by making a gift toward our audio-visual upgrades?


Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us this year to strengthen our ministry and increase our impact for God’s glory.
