What's Horodok?


Horodok is a city that we are currently praying about how to start an evangelical church. There is no evangelical church there right now, but we were excited to meet a group of believers who live near Horodok. This group has been meeting on Sunday nights regularly. We are hoping to bring a day camp to work in this area next year and begin moving towards a church start.

In Horodok this past month, we were able to have a week-long day camp (with 90 kids attending) and a week of English lessons (50 kids attending). The Jesus film was shown and the gospel was clearly given. We are so thankful for our team of short-term missionaries who took part in these events. It was a blessing to have them join with us and share in the excitement of missions!

C-A-M-P...CAMP!





We recently returned from camp in the Carpathian Mountains. It was a good trip, even though it was exhausting towards the end. We stayed up late, got up early and stayed busy throughout the day! We had fun with skits (pictured right), songs and games. The children's English class (pictured left) went well each day and the kids seemed to enjoy it. The parenting seminar that Maya did was well received and we had a team come and help with English clubs and give a seminar on having a quiet time. Many of the participants who came to camp also visited church the following Sunday. One woman went with a group of believers after camp to the Franklin Graham festival and went forward in asking for repentance! Please pray for these people that came to camp. Many are struggling with alcohol abuse and their family life is difficult. Pray that God will transform their lives for His glory and honor. "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Romans 8:37
