Thank you to everyone who prayed for the camps!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The employees of our educational department spent first two weeks of the month in active preparation and communication with the parents of the participants of the children’s and teenage camps, as well as with the teachers who were going to go to the camp, namely: drawing up lists, purchasing everything necessary for each of the camp (sweets, materials for crafts etc.).<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

On July 14 through 20, the children’s camp “The Greatest Journey” (12-14 years old) took place.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The purpose of the camp: to teach children to study the Word of God and bring to their hearts the value of reconciliation with Jesus Christ and communication with Him. The camp participants took the following lessons:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Know the Gospel” – the children learned why Jesus came to earth and how He solved our problem of sin;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cGrow in the Gospel\u201d \u2014 encouraged children to trust God daily;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cShare the Gospel\u201d \u2014 children learned how to share the Gospel with other people.<\/div>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Every day was full of its own \u201cinteresting things,\u201d children performed various camp-wide tasks. On the last day, children distributed \u201cThe Greatest Gift\u201d brochures to residents of the Polyana village.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the camp, children received New Testaments and gifts from the \u201cSamaritan\u2019s Purse\u201d mission.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were children in the camp who went with us for the first time. Their parents were very worried about how the children would be without them, but, thank God, everything went well.<\/div>\n

Here are some positive feedbacks from parents:<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI sincerely thank you for an unforgettable time of recreation for my son Timofey. He came home very happy. He spent the whole day telling us all about the camp. When our grandparents gathered, Timofey sang a song he learned in the camp to everyone, and also told about the Bible lessons, recited verses from memory that were taught in the lessons. We were all delighted with his story about the camp. Thank you very much to everyone who donated money to the camp and to the organizers who held such an unforgettable event at such a worrying time for our country<\/em>\u201d ( Yulia G., mother of Timofey (12 years old));<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI very grateful to all the organizers of the camp \u201cThe Greatest Journey.\u201d My son Dmitry went to a Christian camp for the first time. When he returned home, he spent three days telling us about the camp: what they did, where they went, which thermal waters they visited, and he was especially impressed by the glorification of God and the Bible lessons. May the Almighty God bless you and your families, grant you good health and patience, and more and more spiritual growth. Thank you to all the sponsors, may the Lord bless them and increase their financial capacity. Thank you and I pray for you, so that in this difficult matter you may feel the hand of God<\/em>\u201d (Nataliya O., mother of Dmytro (13 years old)).<\/div>\n
