Farewell to Jimmy Tucker and Family

Camp Whispering Pines (CWP) director Jimmy Tucker has accepted a position with another camp effective November 30, 2020. He arrived at CWP in March of 2020 just as the pandemic crippled our camp income and activities. The uncertain future of CWP necessitated a move to a stable environment for his family.

Please pray MBA churches will provide needed support to allow CWP to remain open until the summer schedule can again underwrite expenses. Please pray as the Personnel Committee begins the process of seeking a new director in these uncertain times. God is faithful and we can trust Him.

Thank You to the churches and individuals who have given to the CWP relief efforts. Your donations have helped us get through the past month and continue the ministry of CWP. We still need your help! If your church was unable to participate in the September special offering, please consider doing it now. Volunteers are also needed to help with yard work, maintenance and cleaning of the facilities.

Thank you!
