Christian children's and youth camp "Hope"

Christian children's summer camp "Hope" was born in July 2000. The place where it was born - little field in the forest on the shore of lake Albertinskoe, near town Slonim, Grodno region.

Then camp could bring 59 children from all corners of republic Belarus, from 9 till 15 years old - believers and non-believers, children from large families. Then we hadn't any own things, stuff and own funds and living places. But with God's blessings and help of many people (Army camp, offerings of people and churches) camp could live one life.
Children had many good imaginations, their faces was been full of happiness and gratefulness. They receive many good friends after this short time. But the most important - children knew Lord and His love. Our staff saw that Lord's Spirit can touch any young soul and understood how significant is to present God's Word for each.

Children's Christian camp is one of the kinds of evangelizations of children and young people and help in theirs spiritual growing. It's goal is to present God for them, to teach every child to have regular personal relations with God, to help have Christan relations between children.
Our camp have one good thing - individual approach to every children. Every group including 7 children and one overseer, what is helping to pay many attention and carrying to every children. Overseer is 24 hours a day with his children: they studying, eating, playing, swimming together and they solving all problems together.
We are giving to children the most important - our love, time and attention. We think that there aren't children without talents, so we are helping them to open their inner world, open in themselves new talents and possibilities God gave them. For it we have different lessons. And special attention we paying to physical condition of children. Most part of lessons is in playing form.
This year we planning to have camp not 1 time like in 2000 year, but 3 or 4 time by 12 days and have much more children, especially from non-believing families. We want to enlarge our staff and teach stuff before on special seminars.
This year camp will work with kids by program "I in 21 century". That will not be soft lessons, but we want to tell children easy and interesting about God's plan for their life and to teach them basically principles of discipleship.

Christian camp "Hope" lives only because of offerings of people and organizations whose hearts are touched by fate of growing generation. We very need your prayer support and financial help. We need finances to rent or buy place for camp, we need refrigerator, kitchen, sport and educational equipment, musical stock, electric piano and good guitar, material for hand-made articles, transportation for children and for food, and many many other things.

The expences on food for one kid in day is 2$, and 1$ is expences on living. If you want help children in Belarus be in that camp, you can be sponsor for them on 10 day term in the Camp.

We believe we are doing this deed by God's will and all who are involved in it, will be with God's reward and blessings.
