Above: A sea of kids in our morning meeting time. We have used this location for years but a few months before our camp was planned the local government began renovations on the property. For some reason, the work stopped last month and the building wasn’t really usable in half-renovated condition. The water system was also being worked on and was incomplete. We began praying and God provided by allowing the work to be completed and the water to be turned on in time for camp! Because of the work at the camp grounds, much of the area that was once grass is now simply dirt because they had to dig up pipes. This is even more reason to give God praise for providing great weather over our first three days of camp or else we would have had to deal with mud.



Above: Orsi in small group time giving her testimony to the kids. Orsi was involved in Buddhism before finding salvation in Jesus Christ. After putting her faith in Jesus last year, she has continued to grow and has answered the call to follow Christ when tough decisions would have to be made in her personal life.





Above: Learning today’s verse in small group time. One teacher reported that instead of getting to the time of small group where the kids play various games, they began asking questions about the Gospel. She said that they were very interested and it wasn’t a problem for them to run out of time for games as they had more questions.













Above: Alex (middle) wasn’t registered for our camp. We saw him looking around from the outside in curiosity and we invited him in to eat with us and to join us for the rest of the camp. We know Alex’s family and they are not very well off. Alex decided to return and looks like he’ll be joining us to the end of camp.





Above: Andor (right) and his brother Levi (not pictured) will be going through a major transition in their lives in the next few weeks. When they were very young, their mother abandoned them and since that time their grandmother Zsuzsa has raised them by herself. Zsuzsa has gotten to the point where she cannot provide what these young boys need and they are being sent away for foster care. Levi has been so nervous about these changes that he has become sick the last few days. He attended camp today and did well, but Andor and Levi could use your prayers for God’s provision and peace in this time of transition.





Above: The afternoon drama continues to follow this caterpillar as she avoids what is written in “The Book” and goes about her own way to become a butterfly. Here she is getting some beetles to make her some custom wings.



Above: Kids gather together arm to arm for our closing song which is a hit every year at camp. The song has some great lyrics that really make clear God’s love for us and what Jesus did for us by dying on the cross.

Praise God for giving us this opportunity to show these kids through our words and our actions how great He is! One mother that has been attending because she needs to accompany her preschool child said that she just felt an atmosphere of peace when she is with us. The Prince of Peace is with us and we trust that He is revealing Himself to these kids that are precious in His sight.

Yesterday, I spoke about an incident where two kids were missing for a time because of a miscommunication. Our concern was for the aftermath. How would the family respond? Praise God the father came walking up with his kids in the morning. The kids grandmother also dropped by the campgrounds to check out what was going on and saw that her kids were having a great time. Praise God for bringing peace and working this out by His grace.

As we have just passed the midway point of camp, please pray for more open doors to share the Gospel in ways that each age group can understand. Pray for Zita who will be teaching tomorrow and sharing the Gospel with the kids in the main meeting in the morning. Continue to pray for strength for all the workers and for good one-on-one connections with kids who have questions about God. Continue to pray for protection for all of these kids as they do various activities and games at free time. Praise God that there hasn’t been any major injuries. Thank you for your partnership with us in this Vacation Bible School!
