We finally had the youth camp on July 4-10. Every year this comes with new challenges as we learn how to server better and better. We had over 60 young people this year, out of which 35-40 attended no church and neither did they know God personally. We took time to help both the unbelievers and the believers. We worked in teams even though it hasn't been easy. God gave each person an opportunity to grow spiritually.

With God's help, we had a sport camp for 60 teenagers on June 26 - July 3. A team from the States came to work with us. They helped both with the sport activities and Bible studies.

July 4 - 10. We had another camp for youth and teenagers (around 90) somewhere close to Cahul. We had another team of Americans come. The testimonies and messages impacted many lives. Around 35 wanted to give their lives to Christ.  Our prayer is for them to bear fruit. On Sunday nights we have a special time for them just to make sure the Word is clear enough for them to follow Christ.

I've been on vacation this month. It's been a good time that I spent with my family. We've been away for the week at our parents. I spent the rest of the time home where I had time to study the Bible, read and play with my children.

I thank God for the grace and opportunity to serve in His kingdom in this area of the world.

Even though we've been on vacation this month, we had the opportunity to be used by God. When we visited our relatives and friends, we shared with them about what we did.

We left Ukraine on July 10. Before that, I had visited church members and spent time with them.
My coworkers will serve in the church while I'm gone.
