To Have Paradise on Earth: Be Transparent
The religion of God goes right to the heart of the matter
God told Noah that he would never flood the entire earth again, and that promise was enough. However, he assured man that a global flood would never happen again by doing this to the topography of the earth:
He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to flight. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed for them. You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.
– Psalm 104.5–9, English Standard Version
The pre-flood world was not as rugged as is the world today. When you think of the flood, do not think of the land as having as high mountains as it does today, but think of the land of the pre-flood world as being lower overall in elevation.
However, now the Lord has arranged the land so that it is impossible for a global flood to happen naturally. God did these things, showing us that he has made the earth now in such a way that his prom-ise of not flooding the world again stands.
Questions:
• What evidence do you see in the world of a global flood? • Do local floods break God’s promise?

both tracts of land. Thanks to a donation from former Chimala missionary Richard Rogers (THANK YOU!!), we now own a used 3-disc turning plough for the Ailsa farm (rather than renting one). Here are some highlights from Ezekiel’s report: The number of pigs has increased from 103 in January to 130. There are currently more than 20 pregnant sows. Some pigs have been donated for food to CSOP. Goats have increased from 18 to 27 (lost some to snakebites). There are 9 cows; expecting 2 calves by next year. We started last year with 13 ducks but now have 30 ducks with
50 eggs expecting to hatch soon. The 3 acres of corn planted on lower mission produced 31 bags
(each bag contains 10 10’s or 100kgs or 220lbs). The 15 acres of corn planted at Ailsa produced 65 bags. The total of corn was 96 bags—less than we had hoped. The 14 acres of beans planted at Ailsa produced 22 bags. Currently vegetables are being sold to the primary and secondary
schools for half price. The mill earned 650,000 Tsh in July, and we are milling our own
corn and rice for free. A few comments are in order. To begin with, we are learning valuable experience from our corn and bean harvest. Due to the higher altitude and lower temperatures, we may need to research for a more suitable seed for corn next season. This is especially important for a couple of reasons: 1) We intend to plant a much larger amount of land at Ailsa in both corn and beans to produce a greater yield; and 2) To appease the TZ government that has been pressing us to further develop the land. Another point to be made is the slow but long-term benefit from cows. Rotating cattle in our large tracts of land should make this very sustainable. Finally, we are continuing to improve present projects and explore other crops, livestock, fish, water systems, bees, etc. Whatever is able to thrive, create and sustain income for the mission is of interest to us.

Are You a Caring Person? “I may have made my reputation as a general in the army and I'm very proud of that, but I’ve always felt that I was more than one-dimensional. I’d like to think I'm a caring human being.” – Norman Schwarzkopf
“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” – Unknown
“Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care
they get.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
“Caring can cost a lot, but not caring always costs more.” – Merle Shain
“…the members should have the same care for one another.” – First Corinthians 12.25
“I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.”

Since I started in the office, June 2017, I found the email and address list was outdated. I have been spending time updating since then. June 2019 I had a severe hard drive crash. We actually took the drive to a computer specialist after trying to retrieve anything from the hard drive ourselves. We were told that it would cost quite a bit and that there wasn't a guarantee of retrieving anything. We also found out at that time that everything from June 2019 quick backing up to our NAS had quit working. Long story, short, I lost everything.
It was easy to update current information because of the records I save but I know that I lost several who have a long history with Camp Yamhill.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to ask those who attend your congregation if they would like to be on Camp Yamhill's email and address list? It would help me very much if I could have your help. I also would understand if you don't want to do that. I thought I would ask and try to find some of those lost addresses.
Thank you so much! Many blessings to you! Praying all is well! Take care,
