We kicked off the second half of our time here in Ukraine with the Youth Leaders running a Bible camp for children in the surrounding community! As you all read yesterday, we spent last night setting up decorations and preparing for the week.
This morning after breakfast and team prayer, the children started to roll in! We had over 80 children show up! The camp is blessed to have two amazing opening assembly leaders, Flora and Mark! Their chemistry and teamwork captivated the children as everyone learned about the creation story and origin of sin. Split into 12 small groups, the children then visited four exciting stations. These stations are Craft, Sport, Singing, and Mission (where the children get to learn about other children around the world and the unique struggles they deal with).
We ended off today’s camp with a Broadway level theater presentation performed by Vasya, Oksana, Kristina, Vitalik, and Sergey. The children were so entranced! Their attention didn’t stray for a single second during the performance!
Please continue to pray for us as we prepare for Day 2. We will be learning about the ramifications of sin, but how we all have hope in Jesus Christ. Pray for the children to understand the true cost of sin and how the only path to heaven is through God’s one and only Son. Pray for the leaders to have energy throughout this week and that they’ll be able to connect with the children on a deep level.
Look…
…Up.
