Pastor Allan
Greetings
to
you,
my
dear
brother!
I
want
to
say
thank
you
one
more
time
that
I
was
able
to
minister
with
you
all
these
days.
We
are
still
living
with
memories
from
camp,
team
and
children
that
we
befriended.
As
Rich
had
promised,
after
such
victories
the
time
of
troubles
came
and
on
the
way
home
we
had
a
flat
tire
and
then
a
second
one.
We
were
driving
more
than
one
day
to
get
home,
but
all
of
this
fades
in
comparison
to
the
victory
that
God
did
in
the
children’s
hearts.
We
were
the
participators
of
this
victory.
Leaving
the
camp
I
really
lived
through
that
feeling
which
the
disciples
were
talking
about
after
meeting
with
Jesus
on
the
road
to
Emmaus,
"does
not
our
heart
burn
when
He
spoke
to
us."
I
understood
how
it
was burning in my heart during camp from His presence. Ok, now the letter about camp:
In
the
first
day
when
we
arrived
at
the
camp
I
read
on
the
gates
the
name
of
Camp
HOPE.
I
joked
last
hope,
but
it
appeared
that
for
many
children
this
camp
was
the
last
hope
because
they were almost 18.
What
I
want
to
say
about
my
helplessness.
Not
my
criminal
past,
not
my
19
years
of
faith,
not 7 years being a pastor didn’t help me in my relationship with these children.
I
understood
that
I
need
to
forget
all
my
experience
and
ask
for
God’s
wisdom
for
ministering
to
those
kids
and
show
them
love
and
character
of
God.
Actually
I
never
saw
so
much
rebellion
and
indifference
and
disrespect
in
these
teens.
They
saw
in
each
person
an
enemy.
The
result
of
the
teamwork
driven
by
the
Holy
Spirit
you
can
note
with
one
phrase
which
one
teenager,
Ruslan
said,
”You
are
my family.” I was weeping when he said these words.
I want to say thank you to Rich and Sherrel for this example of ministering and strict but correct and gentle mentoring.
I
want
to
testify
before
the
Lord
and
the
people
who
invested
in
this
ministry
that
every
cent
was
an
investment
in
the
Kingdom
of
God.
