Our Final Weeks of Summer...

Although Camp Vetca was closed a few weeks early, we were so blessed by the opportunities that God opened up for our final two teams. Our team from Neighborhood Alliance Church in Florida was able to reach out to the children and teens from a gypsy village called, Apalina. This group of children participated in a Day Camp with us earlier in the summer and it was a blessing to be able to follow up with them, reinforce the Good News and build relationships. The team made the switch from Camp to Day Camp very graciously and jumped right in to invest in these children!

Our final week of the summer was also filled with Day Camp activities... Jupiter Christian School, also from Florida was here with us and was able to invest in the children from the gypsy village of Petelea. For this group we were able to bring them into Targu Mures and have the camp at a local school. It worked out great and the children enjoyed getting away and having this team build into them!


The afternoons were filled with Sports Camp with the LOC kids. This team of young people, many of them the same age or a little older than our oldest kids did a very good job of relating to them in a real way and sharing their stories... relationship with the Lord, struggles, victories, etc. with them. Our kids responded and really enjoyed this final week of summer visitors.





Please continue to pray for us as we move from summer ministry back into the day to day of working with our local authorities to care for our children as well as invest in the children in state care. We know that after this rough summer, there is some healing and new ways of working together that need to take place. Pray that we will have wisdom as we move forward this fall.
