By the grace of God and thanks to the organizational support of the Mission “Hope – the people” the winter camp of the church “Community of the Good Shepherd” in Rivne was conducted. It was held in Zalesye.

Preparations for the camp, worries, prayer and excitement – all this is behind, and we appreciate the Lord and praise Him for it.

The camp was small, up to 15 people, but the atmosphere was very warm. Together with the youth of our church we had the opportunity to spend time studying the Book of the prophet Nehemiah. We examined the question of obedience to God in difficult political, economic and spiritual situations. Concerning the events in our country, we’d revealed the need for good biblical orientation for our youth, and therefore we chose this theme to explore.

               Our brothers and sisters said it was quite useful and necessary material to strengthen them in their faith and to pray for the people in our country.

We also had a good time for leisure and skiing (we even installed a small rope tow). God blessed us with a good weather and a time for rest.

We thank God for the gifted time of communication, recreation and edification!
