Always a highlight of our trip is getting to be a part of Bible camp. The camp celebrated it’s 20th anniversary and it was special to be there since Titus was one of the first campers to this camp. The camp has grown from 8 children to usually about 100 who participate in this camp, with 50% of the children attending every year coming for the first time to any kind of Bible or Christians based event. This year’s theme was “Messages to God. The who, what, when, where, and why of prayer”. I was blessed to teach the 15-17 year old class (pictured below) and have Davide, our midwife’s son, in my class. He said: “Titus, you invited our family to come to camp several times, and we never did. Now, I wish I would have come sooner, because this is such a great experience. Thank you for making me a part of this wonderful group of people”. What a great testimony and class; teenagers eager to hear the Word of God! Again, for over a year, the staff and churches around Italy, and the world, have planned and prayed for the campers who would attend this camp; that their hearts and souls would open to accept Jesus as their Savior and wash away their sins through baptism. This year, 6 young brothers and 1 young sister made that decision! Praise God! It was a privilege for Titus to get to baptized Giacomo Tassi (pictured on the left), a servant-leaders among his peers. Since there is no source of water at our camp, we have to fill up a deep freeze! It is a such a joyous occasion when we have fill-up our “baptistery”! Glory to God!
