PARTNERS IN PRAYER!
Fighting for the ministry!​
​
We are so grateful for those who have been on our Prayer Team in the past, and we would like to invite new participants to join this incredible group as well.
​
In the past, we've sent out prayers, praises and updates to this team of friends who have committed to praying for:
The Full-Time Team in La Veta, and our amazing Volunteers each summer!
The hearts of our amazing campers that attend each year!
Our seven camp programs that are held each summer!
The growth and future of Upon The Rock!
We are grateful for your involvement in the spiritual realm through prayer, and for your friendship as we continue on this journey!
BECOME A
MONTHLY
SUPPORTER
In the beginning stages of this ministry, Mark and Kim realized that Upon The Rock was not moving forward very quickly because they were both engrossed in their full-time careers. After the non-profit status was established, it became clear that the camp needed full time workers to take care of the correspondence, receipt writing, bookkeeping, program development, and everything else that is involved with keeping an organization operating efficiently.
Now that UTR has land, we also have the responsibility of facilitating the steps necessary to build the camp facilities during the off seasons. Additional facets of ministry have opened up since we’ve become part of our community. Some of these areas include being active members of our local church and part of the ambulance/volunteer fire department for La Veta. Therefore, Mark and Kim made the decision to leave their full-time professions in order to work full-time on the tasks God calls them to do.
Since they still have monthly expenses, it has become necessary for them to raise monthly support just like missionaries do. As of January 2017, there are 52 families and individuals currently funding 81% of their monthly needs. If you would like to partner in this way, please send an email to upontherockcamp@gmail.com and we will send you more information about this essential team.
​
Our full-time Staff is in constant need of your financial aid in the form of monthly support. Please check out our donation page to join one of their support teams today!

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE
CORNERSTONE
LODGE
The Cornerstone Lodge will be a 3,400 square foot building, which will house the kitchen, the dining room, the boys' and girls' bathhouses and a meeting room. This building will make it possible to run all of our camp programs at the property, even before the cabins are built.
The name for this lodge is actually more than a name; it is a concept. In the Bible, (1 Peter 2:4-6), Christ is referred to as the Cornerstone of the foundation. In communication, the cornerstone of a debate is the fundamental basis for everything being discussed. In construction, the cornerstone is bigger than the other stones and it is the first one to be set. Every other stone is set in relation to this first essential stone. Christ is at the center of all that a Christian believes. He is the solid rock upon which a stable and hope-filled life can be built.
Since this lodge is our first building, and because it is central and essential to the operation of camp at Upon The Rock's property, it seemed appropriate to call it Cornerstone Lodge.
As of December 2015,
God provided $255,000 to fully fund phase one of the project.
