Children's day camp at Gotesti




With summer break for kids fast coming to an end we took the opportunity to run a day camp at our church in Gotesti for kids aged 8-11.

This is a group of them singing on the Sunday morning in church when the kids had the programme and their parents had been invited.


Mission Direct were also with us during the week and got involved in the mission
by assisting in the games and crafts.

Around 80 kids came every day from 9.00 to 17.00 and received lunch as well as pop and biscuits throughout the day



Many kids won various prizes for sports and games achievements but also for their bible knowledge etc
On the final day we were able to give each child a slice or 3 of pizza which they loved as much as you can imagine


Here is the Sunday morning service at the end of the week.
Around 30-40 parents came and at least 10 were in the church for the first time.
One parent who has been coming to the church for a while also gave her life to the Lord.
Pray for us:- there are 160 kids in the village in this age range most of whom would be willing to come to the church groups in the church we run on Sundays and throughout the week but our rooms are too small
We are desperately trying to find a solution to this
Pastor Mark
