Dear Pastors and Friends,
For July, our monthly video comes from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. But this video has nothing to do with the war raging in the east and south of that country. Summer is the time for children’s camps, which offer kids in that land a much-needed escape from the brutal realities of death and destruction. In Christian camps, children can play silly games, laugh, sing songs of praise to the Lord, learn to pray, hear vital truths in Bible lessons, make new friends, and fuel up on nourishing meals prepared by the ladies of the churches.
In this particular case, workers of the large Baptist church called “Temple of Salvation” captured video clips of their recent outreach, which they titled “River of Life Children’s Camp,” and sent a copy to BIEM to share with you friends.
This video needs no translation or commentary. You’ll understand well enough what is happening. We invite you to click on the following link and let your heart be warmed by these scenes from just one of the many church camps now in progress with assistance from BIEM.
We thank both the Lord and you, our faithful supporters, for the opportunity to sponsor evangelistic children’s camps like this one, which is only one of well over 20 camps scheduled in multiple countries. We hope the delighted faces of these campers will help to reward you for your generosity. Most importantly, based on past experiences, we do not doubt that the Lord will use the camps to speak to hearts and draw young ones to faith in Christ. May He be praised!
In Christ,
Sam & Amy Slobodian
