Eagle Harbor Boys Ranch

As you all know this year has been tough for many people.  Eagle Harbor has done fairly well throughout these trying times.  Our visibility and exposure is up, our program is recognized as the best in the region and our children are making great strides.  Just this week one of our sixteen year olds turned down adoption to stay at Eagle Harbor. 

Our budget for this year was roughly $750,000 with little or no room for mistakes.  We are entering November and we are down in donations and income $13,000 or 1.8 percent.  Not a bad number in today's economy.  It would not be such a big deal, but we are coming out of a month that has 3 pay periods for our staff of eleven and soon to enter the holiday season.  We cannot afford for the staff of Eagle Harbor to go without compensation or for them to lose faith in the very entity that speaks of faith to our children daily.

I am writing you this email in hopes you will respond to the need at hand.  At this time all of our bills are paid, we just need to make up the $13,000 to assure that the staff are taken care of and that future needs are meet.  Please consider making a contribution to Eagle Harbor.  When broken down, we together can see this need erased.  By donating as little as $25, $50, or $100, and if you can $1000, $2000 and $5000 amounts, we can speak of God's faithfulness.

Pray with us as we hold to our faith that He will provide.

Thank you,

Danny Gilbert

Georgia Flooding & Relief work: NC Baptist Men & Disaster Relief efforts

An Assessment Team departed for Douglasville, GA today to help with the recovery effort. We are still anticipating a mudout/tearout response.

An International Search and Rescue medical team departs on Oct. 1 to assist Hungarian Baptist Aid in the Philippines.

We have made an offer to the Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention to assist with tsunami damage in American-Samoa.

Please pray for those affected and those who respond. Pray that people will “see our good deeds and praise our Father in heaven.”(Mt. 5:16).
