Is it not a bit too early to have New Years Party in September? Not if you are a student
After Summer we decided to begin a new School Year with a party to give us a nice start. It was great to see all the students again. Some of them did not go to our camps during the Summer. Plus there were some new students. We had fun! Now we are looking forward to working with them in 2009-2010. See other photos here…
Youth Church, Bible Studies, and Sports…
We are exited to make some major changes in our weekly routine in our work with the students. Up until now we had two major weekly events: English Club and Student Caffe, plus occasional movie nights, picnics, or games. All of it were non-Christian events, designed to build relationships, bless and help students.
We introduced a new meeting. From now every other Thursday we are having a “Youth Church” called The Rock. Other Thursday nights are still for Student Caffe.
We also started three weekly Bible Study groups, one for boys, one for girls, and one mixed.
We add a Sports Night on Saturdays. We rent a gym at a local school to play sports with the students.
Our Ministry Team…
God blessed us with a great Youth Ministry Team. Without them all this would have been impossible. I meet with them for prayer and planning every other week. But we continue to pray for a full time Youth Worker, because everyone on our present Youth Ministry team has jobs and volunteers in their free time.
Vision to reach teens trough Art…
We believe God wants us to do four camps next Summer. Three of them we wave had before: Kids Camp in Carpathians, English Camp and Boat Camp. But the new would be the Arts Camp. We will do it in partnership with Fusion, a ministry based in Czech Republic. AsĀ result of this new camp we dream to begin a new outreach program. It would be designed to reach teenagers with the Gospel through a Rock Choir. As we move farther toward this goal I will explain it later in more details.
