Summer Camps in Moldova, much anticipated and loved!
Shared by Veronica Popa, MWB Moldova’s Communication’s Manager:
Mission Without Borders in Moldova is carrying out the much-awaited Summer Camp project. This year 1100 children will have the possibility to enjoy the friendly and peaceful atmosphere of MWB’s summer camps. 900 children from Children’s Homes, 100 children come from Family-to-Fmily program and 100 children from our new kids are CRI in Community Project. The summer camp activities have been prepared very carefully and with much prayer. As it is Mission Without Border’s 50th Anniversary, the curriculum and every activity at every Summer Camp is connected to the Bible. That it is why the summer camp curriculum is called ‘The Book of Books’.
The curriculum is comprised of 7 themes: 1. The Bible – the Book of books
2. How it was in the Beginning
3. The First Sin
4. The Flood
5. God’s Gift
6. Easter
7. He Who Defeated Death
The Christian Input staff prepared a working notebook for every child participating in summer camp. The forward of the working notebook says: ‘The Bible is the oldest book. It is the first issued book. The Bible is the most copied book in history. The Bible is the most widely read book on our planet. It might be said that the Bible is worth more than all other book ever written! What does the Bible represent? Why are people so interested in it? You will find out the answers to these questions as well as many other questions while being in the summer camp of Mission Without Borders.’
The working notebook contains interesting crosswords, puzzles, various logical questions, charades and labyrinths, key Bible verses, various Bible places, lots of advice for the children, drawings to be coloured and interesting information. The working notebook includes themes and Bible stories that are pertinent to the children’s hearts. Through these stories, the children will have the possibility to learn lots of interesting things from the Bible and to love God and have the desire to find out more about Him. The exercises and the crosswords motivate the children to discover certain truths and where they are written in the Bible. All these activities have been chosen very carefully by the Christian Input staff so they should not be too difficult for the children to solve. Every Bible story from morning chapel is retold in the notebook so the children will have the possibility to reading it and to bearing Biblical truths in their minds for a long time. The children also take the notebooks with them at home. They may always come back to it and refresh their summer camp memories and remember about the Bible and about God.
We hope that the children will enjoy their summer camp time and are happy that they will have such a great possibility to resting in the MWB summer camp!
