The has quickly grown to more than 73,000 acres, and after receiving evacuation warnings today, we have all safely evacuated Calvin Crest. We were able to create a fuel break around camp and do all we could to protect it. Please pray for everyone fighting this fast-moving fire and that Calvin Crest may be spared once again. We know that regardless of what happens, we are in God’s hand, which is the safest place for us to be. Thanks for your prayers and support!
