SUMMER CAMPS
Bringing Jesus to the Children
Similar to Vacation Bible Schools, children memorize Bible verses, learn Christian songs, hear Bible stories, play games and learn about Jesus and His forgiveness of sins. They will enjoy both large and small group activities, as well as a nutritious lunch. Some of the children have never had a sandwich with meat, and will often save part of the sandwich to take home to a brother or sister!
This ministry is growing quickly by word of mouth because of the children's enthusiasm and because of the Roma pastors who have participated. Leaders from other Roma villages have heard about the day camps and have asked us to come to their villages so their children can attend! Our Romanian missionary is leading program with volunteer assistance from pastors and other Christians. It is very unusual to find a Roma church with a Sunday School or with Bible classes. Our summer children's work is growing to fill that void so that these kids have the wonderful opportunity of hearing the Gospel and coming to know Jesus. The Lord is preparing these Roma children to be the future Christian witnesses in Romania and to the "uttermost parts of the world!" May the name of the Lord Jesus be praised through the dedication of our missionary and the Christian leaders and laymen who help.
