Join Mr. David as he discusses how The Anchorage applied the recommendation of a friend in the early 2000s. The need for adult, sponsor, and staff housing was becoming quickly apparent and led into the 23 (soon to be 25!) cottage rooms that are currently in operation (in addition to the Loft, Lair, Upstairs Apartment, and Downstairs Apartment which are used for staff housing).

In today's episode, Mr. David gives a clear and vivid example of "the king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." (Proverbs 21:1)

He fleshes out an understanding of this verse in a real way by describing the straits camp was in due to zoning issues with the town of Lake Waccamaw and how that was resolved in a miraculous way through those in power of governance of the town.

Mr. David recalls the mid 90s when The Anchorage Camp moved from nothing being air conditioned to slowly air conditioning the Main Building. He talks about the new possibility of this great asset and how that was able to change camping and ministry in general, not just at The Anchorage.

Mr. David tells Dave about trusting God during the mid 1990s. Due to camp financial straits, they had not taken a paycheck yet, but raising a family and more needs were making an income a necessity. Mr. David glorifies God in how He worked during that time!

On this Valentine's Day, Mr. David tells the story of how he met and dated Mrs. Jeannie. Mrs. Jeanie is and has been integral in the operation of the camp with her vital work in the kitchen and hospitality.

Mr. David talks about how the right people came into The Anchorage Camp sphere just at the right time with their right skills to fulfill the right need.

He emphasizes how a ministry is dependent on the people behind it, whether volunteers or those full-time in the ministry.

"And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)

Mr. David joyfully talks about the rebirth of the camp in 1988 and 1989. The Anchorage Camp just came out of great financial straits right as the camping program was changing throughout the nation. There were many much needed large construction projects that limited the ability to hold camp in 1988, but which allowed for a new and updated camp program starting in 1989. Mr. David tells Mr. Dave about the struggles and joys during this time and how this period opened up doors to new people, especially volunteers, that have become invaluable throughout the years.

David talks with Dave about when he first realized The Anchorage Camp had the potential to be a ministry opportunity that could change lives for generations. He details two instances in the late 80s (a camp introspection and a miraculous response to a prayer) that led to this revelation and which would shape operational and spiritual principles which continue to this day.
