Dear Calicinto Ranch
Family,
We are excited about all that God has in store for Calicinto Ranch
in 2008. He has been so faithful this past year! We
had over 400 campers come to Spring Break Camp,
Summer Camp and Leadership Camps!! We’ve also had over
1,000 guests come with retreats, school field trips,
youth groups, mens retreats and more!! To God be all the glory!!
As many of you know we’ve had the blessing of working
with Prison Fellowship and the DeVos Scholarship for the past
few years. We are so thankful for our wondeful friends at Prison
Fellowship. Unfortunately, the funding for the DeVos Scholarship
has come to an end and is no longer available to our campers.
Just because the scholarship is finished doesn’t mean the
work is! There are still so many children of prisoners to reach
in our target area of Southern California! Over these past few
years God has uniquely brought different churches and organizations
to Calicinto, and many of you-- who were able to share the awesome
ministry God has at the Ranch. He has given us a wonderful Calicinto
Family!
This brings us to Project 2008. Our
goal for Summer 2008 is to have a donor team of 500 donors (monthly
or one time) give financially towards our summer goal of having
500 kids to camp--Each gift, can and will benefit a Calicinto
Kid. At camp we use the analogy of a generator when we talk about
giving. Individually we may not be able to give a large amount
but I can generate awareness of the need to others--and find they
have a desire to invest too!
The cost to send one child to camp is $165 as a one time gift–
or it’s $13.75 a month, $3.44 a week, or $.049 a day. It
sound so simple when you break it down--this is something you
can do to invest in the lives of the most At Risk Children in
the United States. Help us take off the labels society has put
on the children of prisoners--help us generate a Godly generation
of Calicinto Kids!!
Please make your checks payable to Calicinto Ranch, a 501c3 Non-Profit
organization, and you will receive a tax receipt for your gift.
Be sure to keep checking the Project 2008 page to see where
we are with our goal!!
Together we can make a difference!!
Your Calicinto Ranch Family at the
Ranch
