Girls' Day



Since i had promised my girls (English club girls) to do something special this summer I planned a girls day two weeks before the school started. Almost a whole day all for us. We gathered together at Streha – our youth shack. We did fun thinds such as danced some songs, had a girly craft, had lunch together, did our nails, had a fashion show with clothes made of newspaper and toilet paper, and most of all we talked about the standarts that the world has set about external beauty and how God measures beauty, focusing our discussion in the importance of our hearts and to the only ONE who is able to change them: our Lord Jesus Christ.

Camps

The Josiah Venture camps were great. The theme was Reedem. We had two JV camps this summer. (I am really sorry for the late update)

Camp 2 - The second camp we had was the Greace Church of Tirana together with two other churches. This was located in a BEAUTIFUL city down south Albania near the Ionin sea. Sorrounded by such beauty just makes you praise the Lord more for his creation. The theme for this summer was: Redeem and it had stories of redemption from the Bible. 10 people accepted Christ from the 3 churches , and some more became believers a couple of weeks after the camp was over. One of them was Ina Levanaj. Such a sweet girl now a dear sister in the Lord. She is coimng in our church and in our youth group. Here are some pictures:

Camp 1

Lord provided in so many ways. Our fear or better say MY main concern was that the English club girls wouldn’t be able to go because it was outside Tirana and many parents wouldn’t allow them, but actually we went in their houses and talked with the parents personally and most of them were able to come. They had a great time together spending time with each other, listening to stories of redemption but also thinking of the things that were discussed in the small groups. They asked very good questions. It wasn’t God’s time for any of them to accept Christ but God has placed some of us in Babrru to continue loving them and to keep sharing the gospal.
