Thank to our sponsors and supporters, 80 children in Ukraine had the chance to spend their Spring break at the Christian camp called “Seeds of Truth.” The children come from dysfunctional families and 80% of them had never been to a camp before. For the 10-18 year olds, nine days at camp not only allowed them the chance to eat as much as they wanted - a rarity for children who often have to go hungry; play sport and games, they also received spiritual food for their growth. Every day was a new day to learn more about God and the ways He is celebrated in Ukraine - in church and with public holidays.

Both boys and girls were enthusiastic about what they had learnt - how to communicate and to be friendly - a new skill for kids from dysfunctional and sometimes abusive families; how to enjoy participating in games and competitions, and lose with good sportsmanship; and how to pray.

The children’s expectations were overwhelmingly met and it is our prayer that as they return home they are encouraged to continue corresponding with us through Mission Without Borders Bible Correspondence Course.
