Help Needed!

On May 18 & 19 we will be dismantling, and delivering back to MVR, an accommodation block that is earmarked for demolition at C*C The Island in Cowes, Phillip Island. We need help to do this.

What we need is:
· Volunteers (General) – if you can swing a hammer or carry things we’d love your help.

· Volunteers (Trade qualified) – if you have a trade background and could contribute some of that experience or skill to our project we’d love to hear from you.

· Vehicles – if you have a ute, trailer (the larger the better) or truck that could help us move items back to the Ranch it would really help. Same applies for any machinery you may have or have access to.

Please message me (Nick) directly if you think you could help in some way across both or either of the days outlined. More info will follow once we have a team and some vehicles on board.

If you can't help but know someone who might be able to - please forward this message onto them.

Thanks.

We’re inviting you to be part of the Mill Valley Ranch Prayer Warriors Group—a committed team dedicated to ensuring that the Ranch is continually covered in prayer.

This idea has come from recognising that while many people love the Ranch, not everyone is able to physically be here. We want to create a way for you to still be involved in a real and practical way—by standing with us in prayer.

We believe that what happens at MVR matters deeply. It is a place where young people encounter truth, community, and the gospel. Because of that, we also recognise that there is a real spiritual battle for the hearts, minds, and souls of every camper, volunteer, and staff member.

But we don’t stand in that lightly or fearfully. We stand on the promises of God:

“Do not be afraid or discouraged… For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15)
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37)
“Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper…” (Isaiah 54:17)

We are looking for people who believe this—who will faithfully stand in prayer and contend for what God is doing at the Ranch.

If that’s you, we would love to have you join us.

Let us pray.

Wow… where has Term 1 gone?!

It’s been a full start to the year, and now Easter is just around the corner.

If you’re considering a camp for your child these school holidays, this is your friendly reminder that Roundup is nearly full!!

We’ve loved seeing so many young people come through our camps already this year, and Roundup is always a highlight — a great mix of fun, community, and time to grow in confidence and faith.

Roundup 745 (Week 1) is for ages 10–13, and Roundup 746 (Week 2) is for ages 13–17.

There are only a few places remaining, with registrations closing in one week or when camps are full.

You can register here:
https://baptistcamping.com.au/camps-events/ministry-camps or call our friendly team on 03 5263 3222 with any questions!
