The kids arrive at camp!!!

Mission Possible is officially underway at Camp Vetca! The kids from state group homes in Campenita, Santana, Baleuseri, Zau & Tarnaveni arrived for their first day of camp at a brand new LOC camp this year and were thrilled! They were greeted by all the summer interns, Romanian summer staff and their Special Training Instructors, Paul & Fiona...


The kids found their tents and were entertained and trained on the camp rules with fun skits and then learned that God had made each of them uniquely for the "mission" that He has for them. They learned that we are not all the same, do not all have the same gifts or abilities, but that God made us just how we are, loves us and has a plan for us! What a great introduction to God's great love and hope for each one of us...

Next, the kids were broken up into teams! Since the theme at camp is Mission Possible and the kids are in "special agent training" all week, they were given teams names like CIA, FBI, CTU, etc. As you can see, they were also given a very warm welcome onto their team and all were made to feel special and important to their team right away!


The kids quickly learned to be a team as they played games where they had to work together...


made a team flag together...


and got to know each other and their leaders as they walked into the village nearby for an afternoon ice cream treat! As you can see by the smiles on their faces... all the hard work and prayer of the past several months is beginning to see fruit already and we are only on week one! Thank you! Please continue to pray for God to work in the hearts and lives of these kids this summer and for Him to draw them to Himself!
