Nino, a camper from the Republic of Georgia
(Testimony shared during camp this winter)
My name is Nino, and I am 13 years old. My mother heard about the camp through social media, and since it was a Christian camp (my father is a priest), she registered both my sister and me. I was also excited to go because I wanted to experience independence and make new friends.
At first, learning Bible verses and attending Bible lessons felt unusual since only my father reads the Bible to us at home. But when I started reading it for myself, I found that I really enjoyed it. The Bible lessons and the evening cabin-group time made me think deeply about God and sparked my curiosity. It was a revelation for me to understand that Jesus exists and that we should not give up on Him—we should believe in Him.
I began thinking more about life after death and received a lot of meaningful advice. I now want to live more and more according to Christ’s commandments. Camp life was new to me, but the daily program—especially the camp games and morning and evening chapels—filled me with excitement.
Being engaged in camp activities, I learned a lot about relationships and trusting God through those experiences. I am incredibly grateful to have come here and received so much love and warmth. This was truly the best camp of my life.
Before the fall of the communist regime in the USSR, many Christian families suffered greatly. They faced torture, persecution, and even death. Yet, amidst their struggles, they found comfort and strength through prayer. Millions of believers around the world joined in prayer, interceding for USSR Christians and asking for God's help during these difficult times.
As the communist system crumbled, Christians were eager to build a new life. The corruption from the old regime made real change hard to achieve. In these uncertain times, prayer became more than a ritual — it was a lifeline. Believers prayed for the church to be restored, for Christian values, and for moral living. With strong faith, they continued to pray, knowing that God's help was crucial in changing society.
Since its inception in 1990, Kingdom Ventures Inc. (KVI) has been driven by the belief in the power of prayer. Every Christian camp that emerged in the 1990s was not just a result of human effort but thanks to the prayers of many. The Lord's Prayer, taught and prayed daily in every Christian camp, was the foundation for many stories of change. This prayer, passed down through generations, kept the hope of many people alive and was instrumental in fostering spiritual growth.
KVI continues to emphasize prayer as a key part of its mission. The earnest prayers of KVI staff, volunteers, camp leaders, and campers have been fostering spiritual growth and lasting change across Eastern Europe. Prayer remains a cornerstone, guiding and sustaining the ministry's efforts to empower church-based biblical Christian camps and build strong Christian communities.
