Celebrating 75 years of camp ministry in 2018
The ministry of the West Virginia Baptist Camp at Cowen has been a blessing to campers for generations, impacting lives for Christ over its 75 years of existence! Over the 75 years of ministry, thousands of campers have walked the paths from the cabins to the dining hall each morning and walked silently into Vespers each evening. God has changed hearts and lives for many people over many years through the camping experience at Cowen!
Because of the exciting ways the Lord moves at Camp Cowen, we want to expand on the work that is already being done there. We want to move forward through the building of the Sunny Day Leadership and Activities Center but we cannot do it alone. During the month of July, we are asking churches to join us in prayer during their morning worship services on July 15th. Prayer is an important aspect of pursuing God and praying over this new facility will help set new roots in the ministry He has prepared for Sunny Day.
Will you join us in prayer as we look to God to provide for the building and prepare the hearts of those who will use it for ministry?

Coming soon to camp!
The Sunny Day Leadership and Activities Center will house three classrooms and a gymnasium facility. The hope for the new facility is to honor the leaders who have gone ahead of us by continuing the training necessary for church leadership to thrive in the future. With three separate classrooms, leadership training for extra campers will be able to occur simultaneously with camps that are already established during the summer. The gymnasium area will also provide a place for indoor activities to occur when the weather gets rough as well as an area for athletic groups to utilize and potentially be brought face-to face with the Gospel message.
Funds are still being raised and needed for the new facility but the location of the building is ready. As you consider how this new ministry can impact the youth in your church and how it can minister to churches and groups individually, please prayerfully consider how you can be part of the development in ministry at Camp Cowen.
