From 9 to 18 June of this year, the territory of Belynichi held a boarding camp: “Pure Heart”. The program of the camp was founded on biblical lessons: “A man after God’s heart.” We used the life of David as a biblical example.
God is creative and multi-faceted Personality! Praise Him for the excellent team, interesting and open children, responsive teachers, good weather! For miracles that never ceased to fascinate and delight us with its grandiosity! For a flurry of emotions and repentance of kids, for lives that been changed and spiritual lessons! For grace, peace and love throughout the camp! It’s not enough words to describe what was happening in our children’s hearts and the Holy Spirit was poured out on the boarding school Belynichy!
Many thanks to those who did not forget to pray for us, for this camp and, please, pray for orphans! God bless you!
It was one of the most unusual camps that we did. From the first days of the camp God has blessed us with a team that aspires to be a single entity, given by 100%, to do everything that is necessary for children to trust us, open their hearts, to be friends and to search the answers to their questions and reservation of their problems.
When we were submitting in fasting and prayer, God erases the borders of misunderstanding between us and the children, on the second day we were their friends, we were older brothers and sisters, we loved each other.
Through the God’s Word in the morning and in the evening the Holy Spirit rebuked, taught, inspired and guided us. It’s amazing to feel the God’s guidance! We have received a special guidance of when and to whom we need to devote time and attention, especially for anyone to pray, and where we need just to stand in the gap.
The weather pleased us all the time during the camp, even when there was rain, the children thanked God for it, because it was not necessary to work in the garden and that was an opportunity to spend more time by communicating with us. The weather didn’t preclude all the activities which were planned. It is worth also to mark the responsiveness of the administration and teachers of this school. God worked in their hearts, we believe that the Word penetrated and changed their attitude towards us and the kids, they became softer and kinder.The atmosphere of love that we impose will remain after us. It is necessary to pray that the devil won’t broke it…
I would also like to mention our evening meeting. We were singing, praying, playing there, and put a variety of formulations, but the most important was that we taught them to trust God their lives by illustrating David’s life. It was a good evenings, which made us rejoice and touched the hearts of children. I liked that the kids have always been trying to express themselves and show that they were not closed in themselves, they did not scary and did not hesitate to show they real personality, despite their mental and physical abnormalities. Sometimes we Christians do not have enough of such courage to show our faith and joy that God gives us.
But the simplicity and innocence of children pushed us even more to pray for the salvation of their souls. During the call to repentance about 20 children decided to change their lives and to let God into their hearts.
This wonderful gift God has given to all those who care about the destiny of orphans. Once again God has proved that He is the Father of orphans! Last minutes of the camp were sad because we have a large family, children used to us, it was hard to say goodbye … I had encouraged the children that the most valuable thing we gave them – these memorable minutes and moments that they will remember. I also believe that no matter where they are, no matter what has not happened in their lives, they will be able to recall what we have taught them, they can remember Him Who loves them, and Who is always ready to help them.
And may the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all the children of God! Joy and peace to all who read these words!
