English Camp for Usti nad Orlici

We've just returned from ten days in East Bohemia where we conducted a children's English Camp in partnership with a church in that region and a visiting team from North Carolina. There were just over fifty people participating and just about half of them were students who have no permanent connection with Christ or the church. We included lots of time for relationship building, instruction, small group discussions, evening programs that focused on life issues and Christ's interest in those areas, and ample time for fun and games.

In the end, we can say that about ten percent of the newer students made significant decisions and numerous more have been tied closely to the church for continued contact and follow up. It is significant that several have asked for additional camp experiences that last longer and go deeper. There were several who returned after the Camp's dispersal to meet again and attend the Sunday morning program and the church building. This, in and of itself, is a major break through in drawing these young people into relationship. We believe that the transformed countenance of the campers is an indication that there will be a great deal more follow up harvesting to enjoy. Thank you for yours prayers during this time. Enjoy the pictures!
