In early July, at the campground of Zalisya, there was held a joint project of the Second Slavic Baptist Church of Sacramento, Connect International, and International Public Organization Hope to People. This Christian outreach camp was titled “Harmony of the Soul or Love the Lord with All Your Heart,” and was intended for wives and children who lost their husbands and fathers fighting at the east of Ukraine during 2014-2018.
There were 60 mothers and 85 children who came to the camp, and were welcomed by 40 team members. This year, we decided to put special emphasis on the Bible classes and lessons for the children, so that their mothers would be totally free to sit under the preaching of God’s Word, and have more time to rest and fellowship.
After the morning worship service, women were taught Bible classes, read passages from the Scripture, meditated on it and plied ministers with many questions. In the evenings, we all had the opportunity to worship God and listen to His precious Word. Thank God the atmosphere was very friendly. Throughout the camp, we’ve heard many words of gratitude from the participants of the camp.
We’d like to thank God and all those who put a lot of efforts into the project to make it all happen. We’re so grateful for this amazing opportunity of the Gospel explanation, which was comprehensive, clear and totally understandable.
We’re so thrilled that there were quite a few people who were deeply touched by the knowledge that they learned about God. This allows us to look ahead in the future hoping that soon we will get together again so that we could develop this service and glorify the Lord.
