Dear Friends,

We had another great week of camp here in Moldova. There were 388 teens in attendance in both camps with 177 making professions of faith in Christ. There was a good spirit in the camps this week. God just blessed each day, especially in the evening preaching times.

We have three more weeks this summer. As of today we have the funds for next week, but soon I will have the end of the summer expenses. Please pray about this need. I will need more than $20,000 to finish the summer without debt. It would be of great encouragement to me personally to know that this need was met by summer’s end.

I asked the campers this week to give me their thoughts about the camp. I can only publish a few of them, but here are some that I would like to share with you.

Catalina: The camp helped me understand many things about God. My eyes have been opened to the truth of God. At Camp Hope things are done from a heart of love and everything is wonderful. I have made many friends that I will never forget. The songs, preaching, leaders, and food were just great. I hope to come again next year to learn more about God’s Word. I want to live for God, and I am grateful to God that He cleansed my soul from sin.

Marcela: The camp opened my eyes about my life and need. Now I am on the road to faith in God. I am now so happy to be near to God thanks to the camp.

Urie: I was saved in the camp a few years ago, but my faith was weak. I have now a greater desire to follow God after this week. All of the program has helped me to come closer to God.

Diana: I am so glad I could spend five days at Camp Hope. There is not another place like it any where. I have found Jesus at this camp, and I now know I will not be perished in hell. I have been to other camps but this is the best camp.

Mihi: On Thursday night I wanted to come forward to be saved but could not. On Friday at the preaching time I came and am so glad to be saved.

Emanuel: I like the camp, but on the day I got saved was the greatest day of my life. The camp changed my life forever.

Nelly: I thought I was coming to camp for fun and rest but the most wonderful thing happened here. I found God and was saved.

Nina: I heard about the camp and thought perhaps I would be saved at Camp Hope this week. I met Jesus on Thursday night. I am only sorry that the camp is only one week, I don’t want to leave.

There were more testimonials, but that is all for this week. I hope you can see that this ministry is making a difference many lives.
