My blessing came when the Lord allowed me to witness what happened at Thunder Canyon during the 31 days my son and I stayed at Camp Gratitude. The chapel is absolutely beautiful, no real words can explain it when you step inside. I personally named it -The little Cathedral in the Woods! You can feel the presence of the Living God inside God’s House! The Holy Spirit lives inside this Chapel! So this is how you should pray for God’s People… May the Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you, The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you Peace. To John and Mercedes and Sage, and to all the beautiful people in leadership at Thunder Canyon and to all the beautiful visitors I saw inside God’s House on Resurrection Sunday, blessings to you all❤ I wish you could see what I can see!!
You are so loved by everyone here Tony❤️ Having you and Luke was the cherry on top. Gods perfect timing🙏🙏🙏 Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
I am so happy for you all , I am in total agreement with all of your values and appreciate you speaking the truth . I got emotional during your video of Gods house , it is so wonderful and to give glory to God❤🙏👍 Enjoy your vacation , I will be looking forward to your next video and hope to visit the campground sometime this year . Godspeed and God Bless you . Fellow patriot here Diane and Tom Falk ❤
Congratulations on a building well done to the RV Odd Squad and all that honored them with support no matter how small or large. We hope to see your exquisite work this Fall.
Such a beautiful service and John and Mercedes getting baptised was such a blessing. Congrats to you and everyone on a job well done and the start of your new walk with Christ.
I love a good baptism! The chapel is beautiful! I’m going blind and don’t know how much longer I will be able to see, I’m so happy I’m able to see the beautiful chapel you built.
I started crying the minute I clicked play. I spent my first winter in Quartzite and came back toward Florida via the whole Gulf Coast. Solo. Lost my 12 year old dog in Mobile March 19 coming to see you. Too sad and distraught, just arrived at my cabin in NY, I feel HOME. MY little camp gratitude. All of you did a totally beyond awe striking job on that Chapel. I save soaked a paper towel here! My heart swells with love for blessings on all who believe... 💓💓💓💓 I pray one day I can come and belt out a few meaningful songs and blow your minds and hearts like you've blown mine. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🌅😮
THANK YOU! Praise the Lord! I woke up to see your post this morning. I was so excited to see the completed chapel and all of the family of the Lord worshiping together. I have been praying for you especially during this 100 days of building. You give me hope that there are still good people in our world.
I am so happy for you and all of your community. What a wonderful Easter Sunday celebration perfectly punctuated with several baptisms. May God bless each of you. Looking forward to seeing your Colorado adventures as that was my home for 20 years. Be safe and have lots of fun. ✝✝✝
Beautiful video! I loved seeing all of the people walking down the path to the chapel. It was truly blessed. Have a great trip & enjoy the family time. Love you!! 🫶
I knew you would! You’re blessed, we’re all blessed! We took our camper from Indians to the gulf coast this past week, and it was tempting to detour over there but I knew it would be crowded. The chapel is beautiful, you and all of your helpers did a great job.
What a beautiful video. The hard work was worth it. The Easter Service brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy your well deserved vacation and reunion with family. My reunion with Camp Gratitude will be tomorrow. I’m in Calera right now with one more leg of my journey to go.
Wow, wonderful video. I made it fine until John was Baptized. I burst into tears. God is SO good ALL the time. Hope you guys have a wonderful LONG vacation. God, family & country.
Easter Service was just Amazing! Thank you so much. We just wish we could have stayed the whole day. You All are such a Blessing! Enjoy your "Family" Vacation and have Safe Travels. Aaron and MD Sandoval
Just watched this latest video. Thanks for the update. Finished in 98 days, two days ahead of schedule. And no mishaps or accidents. Very good outcome for everyone. Hope to see it and everyone in person soon.
This video was so great! Getting to see all the clips and then seeing it all finished and all the people enjoying this very special day. What a great blessing ❤
I can't stop crying...that was so heartwarming and beautiful to see the chapel being built and utilized on Easter Sunday. I also cry for my Country and the people blinded to the wickedness occurring within. I am surrounded by them. I want so badly to be with like-minded and hearted people like you but am not in a position to join you. I hope you have a wonderful vacation!
I got happy chills watching the service and baptisms! Thanks and blessings for all your obedience, diligence, and hard work! Well d😮ne, good and faithful servants! Have a safe, blessed trip! We will see you later!🙏🏼❤️🤗
Congratulations! All of your hard work paid off and you did it in record time with God's help!!! Family time sounds good for you guys you definitely need a vacation! Praying for safe travels 🙏🙏🙏
What a great journey God has set you on. It’s a joy to watch as God grows you, uses you and directs you as you look to Him and serve Him. I pray He will rest you, fills you with new awe as you visit His creation and clarify His direction for the next chapter. Love you guys.
I am in tears right here watching the amazing job you all did for this special event for God. Bless you all and may you be blessed abundantly in all of your adventures. One day we will get there to see you guys. Love you guys. ❤
This is so Awesome, God first, it is wonderful to see folks talking the talk and walking the walk, God is an Awesome God, thank you Lord for all of your Blessing those that we see and those we don’t see😊
John, Mercedes, I have to tell you that watching this video brought tears to my eyes. You all worked so very hard to build God’s House, and accomplishing that tremendous undertaking ahead of your goal day of Easter Sunday! You have so many dear friends there at Thunder Canyon, you are so very lucky. Your determination to DO THIS brought you to this amazing accomplishment. I am SO VERY PROUD OF YOU and all your helpers. That first service on Easter Sunday was perfect. I have a huge grin on my face! Now, it is, as you said, “family time”, getting back on the road in your new motorhome…you are going to have an EXTRA GREAT time, due to your chapel accomplishment. What a wonderful life you are living now!…YES, you CAN have it all. Love you all so much, hearts to sage, VIRGINIA. 🩷😘😻🙏🥰❤️
Wow! Congrats to the entire team and all the volunteers! He is Risen! Big Thanks to the crew's "Grey Power"! Who says us old guys can't build something! We have loved following your journey and look forward to meeting up again down the road.
Amazing Easter Service. You guys are amazing. Hope some day to stay at Thunder Canyon and meet you guys personally. God is surely leading you two. Take Care
We feel honored and blessed to have been a part of your Easter dedication. Thank you for all you do to create a atmosphere of gratitude at Thunder Canyon. We hope to be back in the area this fall. See you then.
Oh me of little faith! May God forgive me! Admittedly, I was a doubting Thomasina when I saw this videos title. My heart sank. Then, I watched and listened. What a tremendous blessing!!! My heart is so full!!! And to finish BEFORE the deadline! All Him!!! The spirit of the Lord is surely in His House at Thunder Canyon. And such a blessing to witness the Baptisms that took place!!! Great job by everyone that had a hand in the building process but ALL glory to God! ❤🙏
Very happy for you and all who helped make this a reality. I am not particularly religious but share a lot of your values and leave room for belief in a higher power. This is an amazing accomplishment and I know you will continue to do great things.
I got teary eyed at the baptism segment ❤ The adversary is working overtime on preventing my family coming down there for sure... I want to rededicate myself through baptism there and have my kiddo's baptized there as well..... made plans, did all I could ... then WHAM took a financial hit and couldn't make the trip 😢 I will continue to work on getting there and in God's time I'll arrive! Enjoy your trip @Mercedes and @John and keep my unspoken prayer request in your hearts and prayers.
I cried through the last half of this video. It is so wonderful to see people coming alongside God to experience him as he works in a community. My heart is filled with joy for you. May you continue to lean on him and let go of your stress. I pray blessings for all of you - and thank you so much for sharing your journey!
We're so proud of you guys. Bravo and Hallelujah! We've been following your channel since before Yosemite Lakes and the bird nest. 😊 It just seems so appropriate that God chose an experienced building contractor to build His new House of Worship. Enjoy your well-earned family vacation to decompress and reflect on what you have accomplished and how many volunteers you have touched and viewers that you have inspired along the way. God's speed and love, John & Rev. Barbara 👍🇺🇸❤️🙏💒
Gods house is quite stunning!! Everyone that helped build that gorgeous building should be so proud of themselves well done!!! After watching this video I don’t think I have ever been so upset with myself for not joining you the celebrate Jesus‘s resurrection on Easter Sunday. It looks like you had an absolutely amazing day worshiping the Lord and fellowship keep up the great work y’all I’m going to make it to Thunder Canyon for sure this coming year !! ❤🙏🏼✝️
Thanks for showing the Easter service. I was anxious to see this part. Praise the Lord that you were able to finish in 98 days. How heartwarming to see the baptisms.
I have been watching you since your adventures beginning, as you know RU-vid is not reliable in notifications! I am so happy to see where you have gone to in building this community. God bless you all, keep up the good work, and thank you!
We stayed at Thunder Canyon in mid February(In fact celebrated our 45 anniverary while there). We had been following the RV Odd Couple since they started their RU-vid channel. They are the real deal. They have built a first class RV resort and had the fortitude talk about their faith in Jesus Christ on their RV channel. Very refreshing in a time of political correctness and identity politics. Congratulations on completing the Chapel.
I hope you’re able to keep that white roof clean. 🤔. Above all, congratulations. Very, very impressive AND it’s refreshing to see someone follow through with their vision. Many blessings.
This was a great video. I very much enjoyed watching the totality of the build in highlights all at one time. Very well done. Can’t wait to visit someday soon! 🫶🏼🇺🇸
Wow! Praise the Lord! This made my heart so happy. God is so good. God will reward your obedience. So excited to see what he does in your family’s life. wow. I’m blown away!.
Beautiful chapel! Awesome job the guys did on the building of it as well. Wow! But most importantly, I am sure God is pleased with your hard work and efforts - & that's all that really matters! God bless you all & enjoy your time with your family! Plan to get there in the fall. Lemme know if you need more chickens! 😂
It's amazing what a man can do, when we get out of God's way and let him work through us. Praise God you made it happen. That's more than just a little work that you have accomplished. I'm happy for you guys. May God continue to bless and keep you. In His Love, Tom
How incredible! Loved seeing this! Could definitely feel the Holy Spirit while watching the video! So Happy for where God has brought the two of you! We are coming to visit soon!
What a special honor and privilege to have been part of this Easter service. It was filled with the Holy Spirit, and I'm certain many lives may be impacted from the worship that will take place over the years at God's House on Reflection Pond.
Wow I had tears in my eyes and joy in my heart watching this video. Like Solomon building the temple or Nehemiah building the wall in record time, when God is in something, amazing things happen. Two scriptures of thanksgiving seem appropriate. 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 and one I’ve prayed for you during your journey: Colossians 1:9-13. May our God protect and guide you in your well deserved and certainly earned trip.
This video brought me to tears. Faith is a Beautiful thing. We are in MO now on our new homestead with our son, daughter in law and 13 grandchildren.......building God, Family and Community. We are where He called us to be after living in NY for 38 years. I pray we get to visit in the future. Being Obedient to God gives us a Peace in our soul. You guys are an inspiration..I will continue to support you...financially and prayfully....God willing. Debbie Foster
Love everything about this video!!! Because I can't afford to come your way. We are spending our camping season at a Christian campground in the thumb of Michigan from May 1st through Oct 16. I'm excited to see what God has for us there.
We were just at a part time living (some park models) park in FL over Easter. It did not have a chapel, I had asked our Lord for a park that had a chapel I had forgotten about your project and have not seen your channel in a while. We were passing by near the Ark encounter and stayed at a park near there that had a pavilion that they used as a chapel on Sundays.That is the only one in recent past I can think of that offered church while traveling.
We're planning on moving to the mid west to get OUT of California. We want to travel more in our truck camper. YES we want to come visit you! Praise God for everything you've accomplished. It's perfect how you designed the church to walk out to the deck and do baptisms!! ❤
My family and I love seeing what Jehovah has done for you two!! Everyone that helped!! God put them all there!! All at the time God wanted it is so awesome!!! Love you all!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hallelujah!!! Truly am happy!!!!
