Summer Fun!

Whew! Another summer of ministry is in the books! It was a great summer with lots of fun, laughter, and work! We had two teams here. The first was a small team with our previous staff Jenny, 3 of her nieces and nephew, and a couple of other guests. We had two rounds of VBS day camps with them with children and youth from the Bucharest area. We also had a fun time showing Jenny's family parts of Romania and doing some fun activites with Jenny's family from the US and Jenny's family from Romania. It is always an amazing time when people from different worlds meet.

This time was followed by a large team of 24 people from EFCC Church from Escondito. This was the second year that this youth group has brought a team of youth plus their sponsors to help us run summer camps. We spent two weeks at the Boys Transition House and had kids from the Rosiori and Alexandria orphanages. It was an amazing time!

The Theme of camp was Standing through the Fire and we were transported to Babalonia to study the life of Daniel.

As Director my job requires that I wear a lot of hats. I fill in wherever needed and take care of problems that arise. This summer I was in charge of the meals. I had lots of helpers which was great because we had lots of mouths to feed!

It wouldn't be summer ministry without a vehicle breaking down!

We also had a fractured wrist that required a trip to the emergency room and lots of follow up appointments!

The newly renovated pool was a huge success and was enjoyed by kids and volunteers since this was the hottest summer on record for Romania!

We are so blessed to have been part of this amazing summer and so Thankful to God and all of our faithful supporters for helping to make it happen!
