2016 Children Camp - Jesus gives us His Power (last day camp)

We can not believe it came to the last day of the Children Camp at the Mercy Camp.  

We are happy that Children Camp is completed but sad as we need to say goodbye to many children that we get to know in the last five days.

Jesus gives us His Power was the theme for the day.

Weather was great but increasingly hotter each day.

We had a chance to have a special performance for the children to all of us and some guests and teachers, etc.

We then have a big all children Ukrainian tag game followed by a big blast of wonderful amazing food and refreshment prepared by House of Mercy.

It was fun and crazy as we can see children had so much fun especially a group of children from the war torn Eastern Ukraine area.

It is especially sad to say goodbye to them as they were leaving the following early morning for a 5 am train ride back home to the East.  Which is a long journey of over 40 hours travel time with total of switching 4 trains along the way.

We pray that the Camp be able to allow these Children to be away from the "war" area and enjoy this one week and learned about Jesus gives them His Power to get through each day back home. One day at a time.
