Mission Accomplished: Lives Changed for Christ at Summer Bible Camps
With September comes the start of a new school year for children and students across the former Soviet Union. This year, thousands of these young people will begin the new school term with something new and unexpected: a knowledge of Jesus Christ they discovered at one of our summer Bible camps.
The camp for those with disabilities was especially poignant. Campers came from Zaporozhye, Poltava, Summy, Donetsk, and Khmelnitsky. Like all the other camps Russian Ministries sponsored, when they arrived they found local School Without Walls students and other Christians to love and care for them. The photos in this e-news update show some of the campers and staff from the camp.
Praise God with us that, with help from people like you, Russian Ministries helped sponsor more than 6,000 campers this past summer. Your prayers and financial support helped make it possible for us to reach out to these children and students.
The camp included people with mental or physical disabilities.
Large group sessions focused on Jesus and the truths of the Bible geared especially for the camps.
Fun songs and motions brought smiles too everyone.
Times for songs and personal testimonies stimulated questions.
Special guests made the Bible seem real.
One-on-one interaction demonstrated care to the camper and gave them the opportunity to share from the heart.
Children had the chance to share Bible verses or personal truths to others during group meeting times.
