Back from the camp...

The last week was full of different experiences: rain, sunshine, leaking tents, a lot of Russian preaching's and songs, meeting old friends, making new friends etc. With about 500 young people we were in the camp and everyday in the morning and in the evening we attended the "church service". The theme of the camp was "Be Holy in all the things you do". A very challenging subject to talk about since often in Moldovan churches, the holiness consists of how long your skirt is or if you are wearing a big enough head covering. But during this week in the light of the theme also the use of computer, the finding of a partner etc, were discussed.
We hope and pray that many of the youth who made an honest decision to live a holy life will be able to stick to their choice and through this changes will be seen in their families, in the churches of Moldova and in people's lives, who did not yet made a choose for God.

In between the services there was free time to play soccer etc and 1 day there was a survival organized. Out of the 5 days we were in the camp, 3 days we had some heavy rain and yes, our tent was not very anti-rain so also inside we got a fair share of the rain.....;-( But we survived!

Our time in the camp finished yesterday and after sleeping a lot of hours, we are now back again in form! Coming Saturday we will go with 20 dutch people to Rezina. We will help to build a playground and to organize a kids camp. But of course we are ready to do all kind of other things too cause as said before: we need to remain flexible!
