Summer of Hope Camps are all about people, God, and the great outdoors.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven”. Ecclesiastes 3:1

Everything has a season.  It is God’s way.  Summer is my favorite time of year.  Longer days and warmer weather have come at last

!  To me, Summer is a time for vacation from school for the kids and a great time for making memories!  Many at-risk children dream of a time of safe, fun-filled summer camp activities.  Our missionaries continue to make plans to fulfill these kids’ dreams and are only limited by the funding available to them.  Please know that they are using Godly discernment and wisdom regarding preparation and program implementation.  Safe Haven Summer Camps are all about people, God, and the great outdoors.

With this in mind, I share with you my prayer:  [pullquote align=”normal”]Father, just as you have called us as Your children, call these little ones to Yourself.  May they be filled with joy and laughter as they play at our Safe Haven Summer Camps.  May they learn more of You as Creator as they imagine and create together.  And may they be drawn into relationship with You as they learn of You, many for the first time.  Thank You for preparing the way and nurturing these seeds of your love in these young hearts to bring a lasting harvest of faithful disciples.  In Jesus’s name.  Amen [/pullquote]

DID YOU KNOW…A week of summer camp can be a life-changing experience.  Time spent in nature and playing outside, makes children happier, healthier, more generous and caring.  Our campers will grow in: independence, confidence, decision making skills, and outdoor living skills.

Campers will also grow in their relationship with God through the influence of our missionaries who have training in Christian counseling as well as through friendships formed among their peer groups and other volunteer staff who will serve as positive role models.

Children will experience God’s creativity in nature, form new friendships, participate in recreational activities, arts and crafts, drama and music, swimming, and Bible study, all led by our loving and committed t

eams.  Our camps not only bless the children but entire families and leave a testimony of love and care in the communities they serve.

Sending a needy child for a week of Christian summer camp activities is just $50!  There is no air-conditioning in a lot of of our rural areas so many acti

vities are being planned in parks and around local lakes.  Your gift will provide these campers with camping equipment, food, evangelistic materials, Russian-language children’s Bibles and Christian literature, and other support needed for fun camp activities.  With your gift, you make it possible for our missionaries to powerfully showcase the gospel of love and hope to a world in desperate need of truth, goodness and beauty.  It will show th

 

e world that Russian Missions is acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

 

So, please act now!  Send the most generous donation you can to help us open our doors to more kids and help them to learn of our Father’s love for them.  Thank you!

 

Your Brother in the Lord,

Pastor Vitali Yuchkovski
