Dear Friends and Prayer partners!

Well, it is that time of year again when hot weather comes around and great fun at summer camps is planned! We are excited about our upcoming camps and wanted to share with you what our plans are for summer camp ministry. 

Today was the first day of the boys camp where 90% of boys are teenage orphans. It is a challenge! Please, pray for wisdom for the leaders and protection in general as it is 24 hours camp in tents for 6 days!

There are 60 boys and 20 staff members staying in tents and enjoying the outdoors. Along with a great Christian program, many adventures are planned throughout the week. There are also many unplanned adventures that We are sure will happen with this many boys and men in the wilderness!

The second camp we will be hosting will take place August 15^th through the 24^th. This camp is for orphans only and will be held outside of the Andreevo-Ivanovka orphanage. There will be about 130 children participating in the camp this year. We are really looking forward to a great 10 days of ministry with these kids. Camp is something we love to do and we have a great time planning an exciting time for the kids. This year we have chosen an American Indian theme. We have Bible centered lessons, songs, crafts, sports, and other activities planned. This is a great opportunity for us to build relationships with the kids and show them about God’s love and care for them as well as teach them about His love.

Check out this video of a past camp we held. You can see how much fun the kids and staff are going to have in these camps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGD8GedT1io

As always, we are very thankful for your partnership in our ministry. God has blessed us with faithful friends, prayer partners, and financial partners.

We look forward to sharing with you the work that the Lord has done over the summer and in these camps.
