Faithful Friends,
Greetings from all of us between the hills at Gil's Hills. This is one of those letters I hate to write but I know I must. As Gil Parker once said, "How will the people know if you don't tell them?" That's pure gospel with the message of salvation but he was referring to letting you, our faithful friends, know our needs.
This year has really been a banner year. It took over two years to raise the necessary funds for the new cabin but, with just a few small details left, it will be finished. God put it on my heart to raise funds for a new outside wood boiler and in just six short weeks all the funds were raised, and by the way it is working wonderfully. We've been down to our bottom dollar before and right now we are in the black to the tune of $279.00 and we "owe no man" anything. It does get quite stressful sometimes but we know that God is in control and we understand that we are to walk by faith and not by sight. In light of those things I must share with you that for the past three months the income for the general budget has been very lean. In September alone, our expenses were $2,953.34 more than the income. In all seriousness, had I not agreed to the "bald for bucks" fundraiser, Gil's Hills would have gone deep into the red.

Gil's Hills needs to experience a financial miracle. We are praying for your help in two ways:
1. That you will share this need with others
2. If it is possible, that you send an additional gift to help "our greatest need"
Like I said this is very difficult for me to share in this way, but how will you know unless you are told. Thank you so much for your love and support shown towards this ministry and for the King's Kids between the hills at Gil's Hills, and don't forget--
God Loves You & We Do Too!
Sincerely,
Ken Jordan
Executive Director

Spring/Summer 2014
Gil's Hills Ministries is raising funds to purchase an outside wood boiler with the new "gasification" upgrades. (The old stove is in need of repair again, and does not meet the New York state codes.) The new outside stoves are greener and cleaner and will burn up to 50% less wood, and expel 90% less smoke. We have shopped around quite a bit and have decided on a HeatMaster G-200, which will heat both the lodge and the recreation building with ease.
The HeatMaster G-200 will cost $10,500.00 (including installation), but should help us save over $800.00 a year. As of early June, we have raised over $7,000.00 toward the total cost.
This is the greatest need we have at this time!
