In need of another vehicle 🙏

Since before camp, mid-July we have been out of a car. 🚗 🚙 🚗 🚙

Many of you know the situation we were in this year before camp, in mid July our 7-seater car was totaled. It was a good car, 2009 VW Touran that we’d had for four years and were using for our family & for hauling kids & teens for the many activities we’ve done. Another driver opposite side cut us off while turning left, we were going 35mph and put brakes, but there was no time to stop. He was a newer driver. The kids were scared and we were shaken up, but thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt.🙏 It is time to look for the next vehicle. With what we can get for trading the car in for parts, is €2000, and with Luci salary we can come up with money for registration and transfer fees. We have raised so far $5000. We are looking in the €9,000 – €12,000 range at used family vehicles, good quality. We have a friend who for his livelihood he goes in other countries in Europe to look for used cars for people. He’s found 2 Honda CRVs and a Toyota _______ and we told him something like that would be great. If anyone is interested in helping our family of five to drive, you can contact Luke Holtry, our director at MBK, who is collecting and managing our funds! 🚙🛣

Children’s program at Youth Camp!

Camp went great! For one week, July 26-31, 2021 we went to the mountains of Northern Romania for camp. We had 11 kids (+2babies) learning the Days of Creation while the 63 youth learned about Living Abundantly (1peter). The 5 moms (wives of the youth counselors) did morning lessons for the kids’ program, and morning and evening worship time was spent as a whole group. Kids daily lessons had songs, games, experiments, and a story! The experiments were especially exciting!🏕 The kids had a great time and learned the theme very well.
Thank you for your prayers!😊
