Winter Bible camp Part 1

GJ and I had an opportunity to go to Moscow to serve in kids winter camp that SOAR puts together with our Russian brothers and sisters in Christ. The team that we were working this time was new to us, but they all were amazing!!! We loved every minute on being there and serving our LORD side by side - what a privilege!
We have so many pictures that it was hard to pick only a few, so I will have to make two parts and it will be just "Vicka's report":)
On this picture kids are arriving to camp. They did it in several groups and this is one of them from Moscow.
GJ is helping with unloading - one of the rare shots of him as he is always behind the camera.
The weather was so nice and everything was so beautiful and covered with snow that we agreed to call it "Winter Wonder Land!" The tractor is trying to keep up with snow:)
I was responsible for crafts, and on this picture I am getting ready for one of them.
Upon their arrival the kids received their hygiene kits, that one of the churches in US put together and that was a hit! The teacher that came with the kids from the orphanage was so grateful for individual tooth pastes, tooth brushes, soaps and many other things that kids got as she was given only 3 tubes of tooth paste to take to the camp and 3 bars of soap for 10 kids and she had no idea how to she was going to divide it! God thought about that!
Our evening worship service
Dick opened the camp with Gospel Magic presentation - that was so much fun! Kids still talk about the"secrets" that they think they know:)
Then groups of girls and boys gave their presentation and on the picture is one of my favorites:)
Every day we had winter tipe games outsides and crafts activities inside.
All kids are incredibly talented! Even boys were a great sport on the craft hour:)
Thank you GJ for all the pictures!
