Open Bible Camp

We enjoyed participating in the Open Bible Camp December 29 through January 3 at the Dorcas campground just 15 minutes from Debrecen. This camp was made possible through Dorcas Aid International in Holland. Donations were made through Dorcas Aid by several individuals who wanted to bless a church that would not be able to afford to hold its own camp. Everyone from the three Open Bible Churches was invited to attend free of charge.
We ate together,

worshiped together,

learned together, and enjoyed spending quality time with each other.

It was great getting to know some of the people, including INSTE students, from the other churches. We even got to pray with a few people. We tried not to rely on translators and did okay with communicating, thanks to the patience of those who talked with us.

A special program was planned for New Year's Eve. There were skits, a visit from Mikulas (Santa Claus, pictured above), games, fireworks, and the traditional singing of the national anthem at midnight. We were asked to sing our national anthem, too, so we did our best.

All of us were encouraged and challenged to live a victorious Christian life. We don't know who the people were who paid to make this possible, but we pray that the Lord will bless them richly for their gift.
