BIG SURPRISE at camp on the weekend

This weekend youth came together to worship the Lord and grow in their walk with him. It was an exciting time of being able to use the new kitchen/cafeteria for the first time. It is not completed but they filled the building for their meals and for sleeping. (Pray it gets fully done this summer.) Then they packed into the big tent for their meetings. (Future need...a new meeting hall!)

This is just the beginning of new ways the camp will be used over and over again for God's glory!




Youth came from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, and Poland.








Tables and chairs were borrowed (another immediate need) from many churches to facilitate feeding the 260 participants.



Vilnius Theological College donated their dishwasher and it was a great blessing!





The new stoves were used for the first time!






New stairs leading to the second floor are almost done but were ready for everyone to use during their stay at camp.

The floors upstairs were covered with mattresses. Every space was used for people to sleep.

This kitchen is going to be buzzing with cooks and making meals to bless many, many campers!





Cafeteria area is really looking good.




The second floor is very close to being completed.

Water Baptism

Here we all came excited about the water baptism.



The event was by a lake. We had a worship time first and then they went into the cold water.













New Life church and friends celebrated the water baptism.




The three young people that were baptized where honored with flowers and blessings. Afterwards, there was plenty to eat and time for visiting.

PA/OH MAPS Team at camp

God blessed us with another excellent MAPS team. They came from Pennsylvania and Ohio. Some of them have been here many times! Each one was eager to see this building completed. Much work was done while they were here. They worked very hard from early morning until late in the evenings. Many thanks to these faithful workers!!!!!!!!!



The drop-ceiling was put in place in the cafeteria area.








Many hands make the job get done easier.





Work was done in all kinds of ways.



Foundations were put in for three future cabins. Teen Challenge men helped work with this project alongside the team members.

Soccer fun

Bette Sue got to watch her great-niece, Haley, play soccer one of her last times as a Senior in High School. Haley will play for a college in the fall.

Haley is setting up the ball in this picture.

Great to be with her sisters and other family!
