Lake Mac Update
Lake Mac Update
Praise God that the construction of Stage 1 is well underway.
Praise God that we can carry on with existing camps while half of the site has been sectioned off for the redevelopment.
Thank God for the successful completion of the new climbing tower. Our guests have enjoyed the new climbing challenges that the tower offers.
Praise God that very soon, thousands more campers will have the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel at the new Lake Mac!
The Stage 1 works to redevelop the Lake Mac campsite are well underway. If you were to visit this week, you would find:
1. A new 13m abseiling and rock climbing tower
2. A new boathouse and storage yard nearing completion with a 2nd level meeting room
3. Cabin 4 nearing completion with ensuite accommodation for 52 campers
4. Cabins 1, 2, 3 and 5 well underway which will provide ensuite accommodation for an additional 208 campers
5. A new dining hall under construction with capacity for 350 people
6. A new archery range and beach volleyball court almost complete
7. A new maintenance shed under construction
8. Pedestrian access for the 40-hectare bushland area complete
9. Bivouac and Refuge Building on the 40-hectare bushland area almost complete
We continue to seek God about all aspects of this project and thank Him for His continued provision and guidance.
Whilst the major fundraising campaign is over, there are still opportunities for supporters to give towards this project. Further support will help provide funds for the fifth cabin (brought forward into Stage 1), as well as assist with the costs of bridging finance.
To donate, please call the CRU Fundraising team on (02) 9874 8933 (opt 4).
You can stay updated on the progress of the redevelopment, view photos, and watch drone videos of the construction at www.growlakemac.com.au
The Grand Opening and Service of Dedication for Stage 1 will be held on 22 nd August 2020.
Watch this space for further details! We are so grateful to the CRU community for your continued prayers as we build the new Lake Mac - for God’s glory!
This project is funded by the Australian Government through the Building Better Regions Fund
