Camp Living Water
It all began as a dream and countless conversations in the office Cami and I shared while teaching at BCA. The frustration was having concentrated time to disciple the orphanage kids. Visiting the orphanage two to three times a week was great for building relationships and bonds with the kids. However, getting down to the heart of the gospel message was proving to be difficult. Thus, Camp Living Water was born. It would be an opportunity to take the children out of the abusive orphanage situation and bringing them to the peace found in the country side. Many said that this was an impossibility since the kids are wards of the State there would be mountains of paper work to grant permission for them to leave Bucharest. However, we serve a God who can move such mountains. This summer will be the third year of operation of Camp Living Water.Two years ago I visited the land which held no structures. We camped in tents and stored supplies in rubbermaid tubs. Today, a multi-level cabin filled with beds, dinning platforms and picnic tables, a gazebo, and camp kitchen (camp fire cooking) dot the land once occupied by goats and herders. I was amazed and extremely thankful to all the volunteers
over the last two years who have come to build to make this camp dream come to reality.There is much more to be done. Additional cabins, soccer goals, pavilions, and other structures are still needed. However, at this time Camp Living Water stands as a monument to what God can accomplish when His people step out in faith and follow obediently.
