Camp Living Water
For as long as I have know Cami, my best friend, she has talked about wanting to open a Christian camp with her husband Steve in Romania. Along with another missionary couple, the DeWeerds (also dear friends), they have worked hard the last year to bring Camp Living Water, part of Stepping Forward's ministry, to life. I have to honestly say this is one of the few times I have gotten to be witness to a God-given dream unfolding before my eyes. A beautiful piece of land nestled in the foothills of the Carpathians mountains was waiting for them to purchase. Friday and Saturday this week we traveled three hours north of Bucharest to where land has been purchased and the camp will open later this summer. We had the opportunity to tent camp on the land and it is one of the most peaceful spots on earth.
As I walked the camp site I prayed for the many orphan children who will also have the chance to come away to the mountains and learn more of how special God created them. Over the next several years there will be many obstacles in opening the camp. Pray they can be overcome. But what a blessing will it be when the abandoned and abused who live in the orphanages in Bucharest get to come and experience the love and support that will be found at this camp.
We weathered the weekend well as we hiked through the near by forest and sat by the campfire exchanging stories. God gave us terrific weather and a much needed rest after an emotional week of ministry.
