Children's camp '09

The second children's camp has taken place from December 26 through 30, 2009 in Sakété. Its theme was "I have hidden your word in my heart“ (Psalm 119:11).

36 children participated in the camp which had one goal: stimulate the children's love for God's word and help them grow in their faith walk. In their age groups, they were taught how to live more closely with God, how to apply the 10 commandments in their lives, and how to live as an exemplary citizen in this world. And of course, we did a lot of singing, dancing, playing games, and had excellent food.

We want to say a special “thank you” to the donors in Belfast, N. Ireland, and those in Germany for their generous gifts. The second children's camp was only possible with the help of your gifts!

At the end of the camp the children were given the possibility to write down a resolution which, following the teachings of the camp, was on their heart. In a solemn ceremony, they submitted their resolutions to the Lord, and a stone which symbolized the faithfulness and strength of God was set on them.

It was a very joyful 5 days, and according to the participants, the camp shall be held again – and not just because of the good food!
