Camp Report from Alexander Babentsov, Udmurtia

Greetings, dear friends. In our village of Chur, Udmurt Republic, as usual, 2 TOURIST RALLIES were held – for children and teenagers.
The children’s TOURSLET was held from June 28 to July 4 on our territory. This time the topic was taken MOSES-EXODUS. A large team of 50 ministers from 10 cities of Russia gathered for this event, which worked smoothly throughout the shift, for which a special Glory to our God!


It was decided to set a limit on the places of children for 100 children, from 8 to 14 years old inclusive, gathering children both from churches 53 children and from the village itself, from low-income, disadvantaged families 50 children. This is how we managed to gather 50% of the children of believing parents and 50% of the children of non-believing parents.
Life took place in tents on the territory itself, and one of the brightest testimonies for both the children and the team was the good weather that God sent us. It was predicted to be a rainy week, but the children themselves took part in the prayers, even from unbelievers, and God showed his glory in this. So, at the end of the TOURSLET, we saw 40 children who came out to pray of repentance from both believing and non-believing families – Glory to God!


Then, the next weekend, on July 10, 11 and 12, we held a teenage TOURSLET, but with a small team, in which we were able to accept only 8 people from the team, and 18 teenagers from non-believing families. But even with such a small amount, God showed His Miracles, again with the weather. Only 12-15-year-old teenagers were already praying, for whom this was a great testimony to the Glory of our God. So on the 3rd day, 4 teenagers repented: Rustam, Alisa, 15 years old, and Ksenia and Ulyana, 12 years old. “We have seen how God answers our prayers, this is for us a confirmation of His existence,” almost all of them answered.


There were no special difficult situations neither at the first nor at the second RALLY. God preserved, protected and blessed us.
We are open to the administration, both local and district, which they like very much. They know that we can teach these children good things, especially those who are already registered. There are a lot of them from our village, and there were about 10 people at the RALLY itself. Therefore, the administration does not prohibit us from holding such events in our village of Chur, because they understand what benefits we bring to them. They say so themselves and insistently ask both the social service of the village and the directors of the school, kindergarten and house of culture to fully cooperate with us.


Thank Our God for such opportunities to serve for His glory, in such an amazing place as CHUR.
