The camp is in the village of Ivancea,
Moldova, about 50 miles North of Chisinau. The site is an old Communist
Youth camp, now owned and maintained by the State of Moldova.
This year our camp is scheduled
for July 4-9, and we expect there to be about 250 teens and younger
to attend with a staff of 25 young adults, members
of Isus Salvatorul Biserica, Chisinau, Moldova. Isus Salvatorul Biserica
is the largest Evangelical/Baptist church in Moldova. OBC is funding
the camp, as it has for the last 7 years. Without OBC's help a Teen
camp will not happen.
Most children that attend are
very needy kids from the Chisinau area and several from numerous
Orphanages in Moldova. Most children that attend have no concept
of church, Christianity or Jesus. Daily, children are brought the
message of Jesus in many ways. At the end of the week a call to Christ
is extended to everyone and usually over 2/3 of the camp accept Him
as their Savior. Praise God!
If you have the desire to put
the passage of Mark 16:15, truly into practice and, "Be
changed" , consider going and helping at our camp this summer. It
is an experience you will never forget.
