First
of
all
I
would
like
to
thank
everyone
for
their
prayer
and
financial
support
that
made
this
camp
possible.
This
was
the
first
time
that
we
have
had
a
camp
at
River
of
Joy.
David
Hallowell,
missionary
and
owner
of
River
of
Joy,
was
gracious
enough
to
invite
us
to have a camp for the Tartar children. The camp is located in the mountain area of the Belogorsk Region.
The
camp
is
a
tent
camp.
All
44
of
the
children
slept
in
tents.
The
entire
team
also
slept
in
tents
except
for
Sherrel
and
I.
David
had
built a small cabin that was very nice and we were the very first guest to occupy that cabin. What a blessing.
We
hired
3
cooks
to
feed
the
60+
of
us.
What
an
incredible
job
they
did.
Marina
was
the
head
cook
with
Tanya
and
Sasha
as helpers. This is their new stove!!
Crafts and Games
Programs and Skits
The
camp
had
many
challenges;
wild
and
crazy
kids,
spiritual
battles
and
many
rainy
days.
We
serve
such
an
incredibly
faithful God! Most of the Tatar children either came to the Lord or re-dedicated themselves to the Lord.
The
team
also
had
its
challenges
and
again
God
was
so
faithful.
God
changed
both
the
lives
of
the
children
and
the
team
members.
The
children
had
a
great
time
enjoying
the
Bible
programs
each
morning,
hikes
in
the
mountains,
crafts,
and
many, many games.
The
fellowship
between
the
team
members
and
the
children
developed
many
friendships.
These
friendships
grew
each
day.
By
the
last
day,
most
of
the
children
did
not
want
to
leave.
We
have
received
calls
from
many
of
the
parents
thanking The Least of These for the great camp.
God
continues
to
pour
out
his
favor
and
we
are so thankful for His many blessings.
