God has blessed our team from Zdolbuniv church “Source of Life”. The camp consists of 32 team members and 61 teenagers in the forest named Holy, Rivne region. Therefore, the camp was named “Holy wood”.
We had two aims. The first aim concerned the unbelievers. We wanted to show them their wickedness, and how the fall has affected the human condition. And the second aim concerned the believers. We wanted to show that the new identity, the new nature that God has given to people helps us in our daily lives. The first aim was concerned the understanding of God, the gift He gives us, which is a life in Christ. We want young people to hear the gospel and to be deeply aware of its impact, so that their hearts could turn to God.
On the worship evening many campers shared their prayer needs, some of them have accepted Christ as their Savior. One guy before the camp checked the weather forecast and the whole week supposed to be rainy. Then he said that if the weather is sunny, he will believe in God. The weather was sunny the whole camp. Many young people here began to pray, to read Bible and understand it. The team worked closely together for the glory of God and inspired each other by the example of Christ.
Here are some reviews:
“I liked everything, especially the sermons that helped me to understand more about the essence of God. And also I like the sincere and friendly relations in the team.”
“For me the camp was helpful because I believed in the fact that God really exists and that He is always with me, that the prayer to God brings salvation, it is the right choice.”
“Most of all I liked the evening services. This year sermons were much deeper. I also liked the fact that counselors, preachers, and the whole team were very open, and treated us with love. I look forward to the next camp.”
“It was very good. I especially liked Bible lessons. Thank you for our counselor, God revealed me many truths through her.”
“I will remember this camp forever. This is the first camp in my life that sets the correct meaning of life in my mind. I really loved the team and my counselor. I hope this is not the last camp.”
The camp testifies of God’s responses to many prayers. We are very grateful for your devoted hearts, prayers and support. Please continue to pray for those, who visited the camp, so that the Word that was sown in their hearts, bore fruits in the due time. May God be your reward, and graciousness.
