That's a great Woman of God, right there. That's Margaret Kearney, God rest her soul. Margaret was the right hand lady of South Side Mission founder Helen Haien. The two of them ministered together for the better part of 60 years. In the photo, Margaret stands in the foreground of our "new" headquarters, "The Lighthouse on Laramie" circa 1990.Helen Haien and Margaret Kearney cared deeply for poor kids. Helen built the Sunday School that continues today. Margaret built the camp that endures and bears her name. In fact, Margaret lived on-site in a cabin we built for her, even before the camp was named for her.
Well, Margaret Kearney's old cabin in the woods got a facelift this year. We remodeled outside and inside, adding fancy paneling, new windows and treatments, tile and will soon add a deck out back. It's suitable for taking a weekend prayer retreat, a rustic night with the family or just a day to hear from the Lord. It can be reserved by calling Camp Director Paul Mulholland at (309) 645-9607. Thanks Margaret!
