Mens Retreat May of 2008

Bro. Bobbie Bonner, Missionary to Africa and Founder of IAM Ministries spoke to the men this year. They had a great time of preaching, fellowship and good food provided by the ladies of JMF. Make Plans to come next year!

Jr. Camp June of 2008

We had a great camp for Junior age kids. Pastor Eric Lamphere from Clark Fork Baptist Church was our guest speaker. He challenged the kids from the Bible and preached all week on the theme of "Jesus is the answer" 11 were saved and many decisions to live for God were made.
They had fun with games, hikes, skits, boys went swimming in the lake while the girls did fun crafts and then they switched so the girls could swim while the boys did crafts. The camp food was great and the last night Bro. Jensen took the kids on a hay ride and we ended camp with a big bon fire on the island with a time of testimony. Camp is an investment in eternity. Many decisions are made at camp for full time christian service, missionary call and the call to preach the Gospel.

God blessed and there was alot of fun and fueding between the "Hatfields and the McCoys" There were 3 saved and many decisions for Christ.

Camp Lata-Wata was born in the heart of Mr. Bill Jensen a rancher in Western Montana. After hearing Bro. Scott Donley present his burden to start a camp through the ministry of Faith Baptist Church in Spokane, Washington, Mr. Jensen contacted Dr. Greg Boyle and told him he wanted to give a piece of land to be used for an Independent Baptist youth camp. This is an exciting endevor and we want the Lord to be glorified through it. It is the desire of all involved to see young people saved, called into full time service and challenged to live for God. Pray for us as we undertake this great opportunity.
