Seasons change, but our God never changes!!! We praise Him for who He is and thank you, our partners in the Gospel, for your prayers and support!!! Family Camp God blessed us this year with 90 campers and we really praise God that many people in ministry were able to come with their families. They rested physically and got spiritual food to strengthen both them and their family members. Alesya and Donna (our coworker) coordinated and provided most of the treats for three events on the schedule - the Women's Tea, The Men's Coffee and the Adult Cafe, which for some is a date night with their spouses. We planned for 30 women at the first event and had 37; 15 men and we had 22; 8 couples and we had 15. We were thrilled! Thank you for your prayers!!! English Camp This was our first one. We had 20 campers and half of them were unbelievers. All lessons were based on scriptures, so they learned English together with truths from the Bible. The unbelievers also got to hear the gospel through music and by the testimonies of members from the USA team in an interview format each evening during the "Late Night Show". The gospel was also shared in personal conversations around the table during meals, as well as in the first English class of each day. We still communicate with those whom we got to know at camp, and some have signed up for the weekly English Club at our church that starts in September. Rasskazovo Ministry Rasskazovo is a town in the Tambov Region with a small church. We went there to help the church with their VBS. They had about 35 kids (from 6 to 15 years old) and over half of them had never gone to the church even though they live close by. The church has been without a Sunday School program for many years because of a lack of children. On the last day of VBS we had a very good meeting for the parents and many of them agreed to let their kids go to Sunday School! Please pray for the local believers to keep in contact with the parents, and that through the kids, these parents will know the Lord. Vlada Vlada is a 14 year old girl who came to Russia as a refugee from Ukraine. She lives in Rasskazovo and attended VBS and then came to our youth camp. Now she is attending church services and is really interested in knowing about God! Please pray for her. Lighthouse of Hope Camp The theme for this year’s youth camp was “Star Wars”. It was a wonderful camp with a positive atmosphere, good weather, a program that ran smoothly, an excellent staff, and counselors who demonstrated commitment to each person in their group. There were 71 campers and 25 of them prayed to receive Christ! Three teens from our church in Tambov were part of this count, and during the following Sunday church service they stood before the congregation to acknowledge Christ as their Savior. Pray for the 25; that their faith in the Lord will grow. This week there are evangelistic events in the towns of Kirsanov and Michurinsk. Last week they were held in Morshansk and Pervomaiskiy, all towns in the Tambov Region. Pray for hearts to be open to the Gospel, and that the local churches will be ready to receive new people. Because of Him, David and Alesya Andrusyak .
