Lake Mac redevelopment Stage 1 funding achieved!
After the prophet Jeremiah had bought a field at God’s instruction, he said this as part of his prayer:
“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you” (Jeremiah 32:17).
As we look back over the last two and a half years, we like Jeremiah, marvel at God’s power and provision in funding the Lake Mac Campsite Redevelopment.
We are delighted to report that by the grace of God, and through the generosity of hundreds of CRU ® supporters, the $19m community fundraising goal for Stage 1 of the Lake Mac Redevelopment has been achieved! In addition to this, a $5m Australian Government grant has been awarded. Construction is now well underway and Stage 1 of the campsite is expected to be ready for use in mid-2020.
Whilst the major fundraising campaign is now over, there are still opportunities for supporters to give towards this exciting project. Further contributions will help fund an additional cabin which has been brought forward into Stage 1 as well as help reduce bridging finance costs.
We are incredibly grateful for the prayers and sacrificial generosity of many in the CRU community who have helped make this kingdom-building initiative possible.
Upon completion of all stages, an extra 20,000 campers each year will have the opportunity to encounter Christ at Lake Mac. We can’t wait!
You can stay updated on the progress of the redevelopment and view photos and drone videos of the construction by visiting www.growlakemac.com.au.
We look forward to inviting supporters to a Grand Opening of Stage 1 in the second half of 2020, God willing. Please continue to pray as construction progresses and as planning for future stages of the redevelopment takes place.
This project is funded by the Australian Government through the Building Better Regions Fund
