Re: James Loughery letter to the editor on Aug. 4, entitled Ness Lake Bible Camp land donated.
Yes our grandparents donated seven acres, which also had 473 feet of sandy shore line making it the ideal location for children to enjoy the beautiful outdoors wilderness.
Our grandmother was a teacher and also had a vision for a children's Bible camp being built on their property, plus an opportunity for the children to form summer-long and lasting relationships with other children at the camp.
On May 1 of 1953 Henry Unrau, the superintendent of the Canadian Sunday School Mission's British Columbia branch, had heard of our grandparents' vision and visited them to share how their purpose was to teach the word of God to children and how their vision was in line with theirs, as well as their beliefs in God.
Shortly after Henry visited the property, our grandparents made the donation. The Canadian Sunday School Mission only had $50 to put toward the buildings for the camp. But God performed miracles and many local volunteers supplied the materials and supplies to make it possible to open the camp by August 1953.
