A new adventure...

The time for a new adventure has come! The day after tomorrow we will build again the raft and float down the Nistru River. We hope and pray that during our journey we will meet many kids, youth, adults and elderly with whom we can share about Gods love! Please pray with us for:
- Gods guidance as we spend time in different villages, organizing different programs for children, youth and deliver food parcels to the poor.
- Wisdom as we lead the team
- Safety, health and enough energy!
- Nice, sunny and dry weather!!

Sports camp this week...

This week 14 boys from Micleuseni and Huzum are attending the sports camp organized by OM. Many of the boys went maybe 1 or 2 times to church in their lives but they dont know much about God. We are excited that this week they are at this Christian camp and every day they will hear about God! Please pray that their hearts will be touched and lives will be changed forever!

The orange guys are "ours"! May the best team win this week;-) 

Camels at the Sunday school today!

This Sunday I was teaching two times the story of Issac getting a wife. In the morning I told the children in Micleuseni and in the afternoon in Lozova the story about how Abram send his servant to get a wife for Isaac and how the servant was guided by God and found Rebecca.

After the story is finished we normally play a game in which I ask questions about the story to see if the kids listened well. So also this time I asked one guy: what did you learn from the story? He replied:
"I should be generous because Abrams servant also gave a ring and some bracelets to Rebecca".

Oke, this is maybe not the main point to learn from this story but oke, it is a good lesson to learn.
After that another guy puts up his hand and he says: "I learned that I should not marry a women that worships idols!!!!". It was a bit hard not to laugh at the guy since he is only 12 years old!

Anyway, praise God for the kids we can invest in and lets pray that the Words planted in their hearts will bear fruit!

Kids camp = finished

Today we came back home from the kids camp. 85 children enjoyed a small week of fun with many different activities:

Gymnastics in the morning

Every morning the bible lesson was presented in skit (in the picture Goliath)

Bible lessons in small groups

Game time!

Hand crafts in the afternoon

Ionel and his brother Sergei waiting in line for the trampoline

Every afternoon 15 minutes in the swimming pool (A good guideline to know when it is time for the children to go out of the water: when the lips of the children have a blue color;-) 

Thanks to all who prayed for the camp! We look back upon a blessed week and are thankful that all went well! All the children had a great experience and many of them will remember this week as a week in which they felt special, had a lot of fun and played many crazy games;-) Praise God!
