THANK YOU, GOD
- For Christian camps operating on territories controlled by Ukraine and on the temporarily Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine. We received reports from two camps (for 154 and 80 campers) who found ways to take children to quiet areas so they could spend a week without hearing the sounds of war.
- For caring for His Church in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
- For God’s protection and blessing of Camp Y in Country X. The camp, with 30 campers, mostly from Muslim families, was led by 11 leaders of the local Lutheran church. It was a wonderful time of sharing God’s Word. Praise God for every staff that is faithful and ready to serve.
- For Camp Transformation, Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine: July 13-15 they ran a three-day day-camp for IDP campers and for non-Christian kids in a local church in Kryvyi Rih. Every day 80 campers served by 15 staff had the opportunity to experience God’s love.
