Overall Mission and Goals for the summer:
- To share Christ with the young people who spend their summer days hanging out on the beach by the river in the growing Obolon region of Kiev.
- To start relationships through sports, games, picnics, drama, and live music (if you have talents in these areas, we could use your help!)
- To continue these relationships throughout the summer and invite people to church events and activities
- To partner with Almaz Church leaders and members to multiply home groups in the Obolon region and to see a new congregation develop in this region.
- To take part in the further development of Almaz teen ministry (LT and 2nd STM will be a part of camp)
Desired Participants:
- We are looking primarily for people ages 17-45 (exceptions will be strongly considered).
- Participants need to be comfortable in an outdoor setting as many hours will be spent along the river.
- Participants need to be comfortable passing out invitations and literature and initiating conversations with strangers. Willingness and desire is more important in this area than experience.
- Participants need to have a willingness to play volleyball (not required, but helpful) and other outdoor games.
- Camp participants will need to be willing to live in true camping conditions.
