🌟💔 During the Winter months of 2024 while laying out the plans for a VBS/English camp in Telenesti, Moldova, the Youth Leader of my long-standing partner church in Telenesti messaged me to inform me that they had been in contact with a new pastor of a small church in Leuseni, Moldova who had visited our camp in 2023 and was reaching out with a request that we could help him with a similar camp for the children in Leuseni.

📅 Fast forward two years, and the numbers had skyrocketed: from just under fifty children attending in 2024 to 50-60 in 2025! And it wasn't just about numbers; hearts were being touched deeply as six precious souls made life-changing decisions for Christ at these camps.

But here’s where the heartbreak begins—or perhaps deepens, depending on how you see it. The church members of Telenesti and the pastor in Leuseni are driven and determined to make every camp a success but struggle with resources needed to pull off such vibrant programs. Every penny counts when it comes to buying fresh supplies for these children – from crafting materials to hot meals that fuel their spirits as much as their bodies!

This is where YOU come in, my friends. Imagine the smiles on those little faces who have so little yet give you so much joy just by being themselves. Your donation could mean a freshly painted face here or a piping hot meal there – every bit helps turn dreams into reality for these children and their leaders!

I can't help but think of one particular moment when I saw the sheer delight in those young faces after learning about God’s love through simple yet profound activities. It wasn’t just fun; it was a beacon of hope, shining bright against the backdrop of struggle they face daily at home. And that is what we aim to continue and expand with your help!

🌍 If you're reading this, maybe something resonates deeply within you too—a memory from church camp as a child or perhaps an echo of simpler times when faith was fresh and uncomplicated by the burdens of today? Those feelings are calling out for us all to remember how much potential there is in every soul we encounter.

Let's fan that spark into flame! Your contribution, no matter big or small, can make a real difference. Imagine what could be possible if together—through generosity and unity—we could turn the tide against hardship? Let’s bring hope to Leuseni this summer with your support.

💌 With love & gratitude always, 😊
