Dear Friends of LaMoine Christian Service Camp,

Our 2011-12 Fiscal Year is completed, and with it another year of the faithful support of our Christian camping partners and
Gods rich blessings. First and foremost, I thank all of you who have covered our camp and our campers with your prayers
throughout the past year. As my years in this ministry begin to add up, it becomes more and more evident how dependent we
are upon Gods blessing and protection, and how faithful He is to the prayers of His saints.

Let me share just a few of the blessings of this past year. During our summer camp season, we hosted 1,113 campers, 54 of
whom made life-changing decisions for Christ while at camp. Our campers also gave over $6,000.00 to missions. Hundreds
others volunteered their time to teach, lead, mentor, supervise, or work in our kitchen. Thank you all so very much for serving
God at LaMoine this past summer! Other camp programs included; the Junior High Fall Retreat, two Womens Scrapbook
Retreats, the 10th Annual Open House & Auction, our 21st Annual Golf Benefit with CSC at WIU, and our always popular
Senior Saints Day. Our brand new tractor and finish mower were purchased and put into operation this fiscal year as well.
Some safety enhancements were also made to our playground equipment, with the goal of adding a new playground area for
younger campers when the funds become available. A huge blessing of this past fiscal year is that with our Program Manager,
Matthew, was on staff for his first full year and that we were able to accomplish all these things while keeping our expenses
within our income. Incorporating the cost of a new full-time employee into our operating budget in less than two years speaks
volumes to the trust and support of our camp partners as well as Gods blessing on the direction we are taking as a camp for
the future. Please join me in thanking God for another year of His blessing on our wonderful camp!

For our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012, we have set a budget of $335,000.00. This new budget represents less than a
1% increase over last years budget. This budget will allow us to continue to operate our camp at a high standard and allow us
to make some positive programming and facilities enhancements as well. With the continued faithful prayers and financial
support of our Member Churches and individual donors, I am confident that we have a very accurate and manageable budget
for the upcoming year.

At this time, I am also announcing plans to move forward in a more aggressive manner with the modernizing of our cabins;
adding restrooms, heat and air-conditioning, and storm shelters. A drive for $50,000 in 5 months will go from now until our
Summer Camp Kick-off Meeting in mid-March of next year. The money received during this time will give us the remainder
we need to complete our first cabin project. Your Camp Staff and Board of Directors have already committed $10,000 of this
$50,000 goal. I am extremely excited and encouraged that the leadership of our camp would commit to 20% of our $50,000
goal. I am now asking that our Member Churches and individual camp partners continue their giving ways to bring in the
additional $40,000 over the next 5 months. Please pray, spread the word, and give if you are able. With Gods blessing, we
will have the financial resources to begin our first cabin project after next years summer camp season.

In closing, I thank you for your support of this valuable ministry in our own back yard. I continue to be humbled by all that
God has done and is doing here at LaMoine. I ask God to bless all of you who are a part of this ministry and I am confident
that God will continue to bless LaMoine Christian Service Camp.

Serving Our Savior Together,
Doug Hamer/Director
