Moldova Trip
A word from Nola Kilgore on the Moldova Mission Trip....
Our second camp was held in the forest. With 120 campers. With 46 orphans from five different orphanages. We studied Kay Arthur's "Being a Disciple: counting the real cost".
We even sang songs in three languages, Russian, Romanian, and English.. Campers enjoyed swimming and bouncing on the new trampoline! More than 40 children invited Christ into their lives in the forest! Also many in the first camp. It is truly a blessing to see what God is doing in Moldova and being able to join Him."
"This year Sanibel Community Church partnered in two camps back to back in Moldova.
In the first camp we hosted 210 campers, ages 5 to 13. Participants were from Moldova, Germany, Jordan, Russian, and even the USA. We studied the book of Jonah.Our second camp was held in the forest.

A word from Pastor Kevin on these trips...
these trips. God did a lot through those trips. Some highlights were that
in New York, on Thursday afternoon, several of our teens got to lead
students to Christ. In El Salvador everyone from our team had the
opportunity to share their testimonies in the school classrooms and one on
one in personal evangelism. It was an exciting time!"
