FAMILY CAMP IN THE WOODS ~ UKRAINE

Dan and Cindy Williams of Antioch Baptist Church, Conway, Arkansas in the foreground come every year to teach Bible and English (respectively).  They are a great blessing to the camp and to us.  This is mealtime in the newly made mess tent, sewn by one of the talented Ukrainian ladies from Belichi Baptist Church of Kiev who are doing the camp.

Kitchen and kitchen crew.  What would we do without these dedicated ladies. They are the backbone of the church camp fixing three meals a day for 33 people. L-R are Natasha, Nina and Ira.  Ira is the one who sewed the mess tent and she is a super cook.

This year there are lots of little boys.  Zhenya is preparing games in front of his tent.

Here is an overall view of half of the camp.  You can see what a lovely spot they have.  And they are all ready for the campfire.

Dan Williams in front of his luxury hotel for the week.  Did I mention there are no showers from Sunday through Saturday?  It makes the nearby lake all the more precious.  Please pray for these folks and the whole camp experience that many may come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Looks like a great time! I LOVE the huge seating area around the fire pit. We may take our kids camping for the first time in the beginning of October (my daughter has a Monday off from school)hopefully it's not to cold. I used to camp all the time as a kid and loved it, I miss it!
