Week 1 of camp was a wonderful way to kick off the summer. We had a team visiting from Georgia and they served as the hands and feet of the Lord, bringing the love of Christ to kids from the Apalina gypsy village. This team came last summer as well and worked with mostly the same children. It was neat to see the relationship between the American volunteers and the kids deepen.
While the team was here they spent time at the baby hospital, in the nearby gypsy villages and of course at day camp with the 60 children from Apalina. They also spent some time with the kids in Livada's full time care. The girls enjoyed a make-over night filled with make-up and nail poilsh. It was a special night for everyone.
One of the biggest blessings of working with the children from Apalina is the openness to share about the Lord. This week we had a great time playing messy games, telling stories, acting out skits, throwing the ball and building into the lives of the kids all in the desire to glorify the Lord and share His story.
We are so thankful for the Ebenezer team! Please pray with us that the kids who were ministered to would be able to see Christ and know Him as their Lord and Savior. Please pray that the families in Apalina would grow to know the Lord and that their hearts would soften to their loving God.
