Here's some photos 

from the first time I went to Moldova 

to help with a children's day camp (VBS) 

in the village of Vulcanesti.

Over 20 years ago, it was just me, 

three Americans + one Moldovan translator. 

We did everything ourselves.

Here's some photos from one of the last times I helped with a children's program in Moldova. 

This time, the children and youth 

in Vulcanesti 

prepared one day of camp . . . 

which they led 

for children in a different village

by singing . . .

. . . acting out the story of 

the Lost (and found!) Coin . . .

. . .  and sharing the Gospel 

through a craft with colored beads.

I don't have a photo yet of this year's camp--being held today, tomorrow, and Saturday (July 6, 7, 8). 

The people in the Moldovan church are doing it all themselves. 

Well, with God's help and our prayer support.

Staying home but still praying,

.
