| Jan is teaching Bible study class |
"From strength to strength" (Psalm 84:6-8), that was the theme during the
summer camp in
Ukraine that is organized annually in the first week of July by
Teen Challenge and the Jewish Messianic congregation in Berdychiv.
The camp is meant for students (and their families) who were previously or are currently in Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers or who should go there. They come from all over the country! After years we were happy to see our friend
Andrii Soloviov again, who lives near Sevastopol, in Crimea.

| Praying with Andrii |
Please, pray with us that Andrii will get his health back. He has been operated on a brain tumor and is currently undergoing treatments.
 |
| Grace of Giving |
For the third consecutive year,
Traveling Light was at the camp all week to encourage, teach, counsel, pray with people for deliverance and healing and of course to just have nice conversations and fellowship with each other.
We were able to sponsor the camp again this year with the nice amount of 3,000 euro. A good part of it came from our southern neighbor Belgium 😀 so in that sense it was an international project. Know that you have invested in human lives. THANK YOU!

| The Korovai family |
The man in the photo on the left came to us to thank us for the Russian edition of Marja's book
'Grace of Giving' which he received 2 years ago.
It has totally changed his life and that of his family!
In previous years, we also prayed with couples to be cured from Hepatitis C and other drug-related illnesses that could stand in the way of healthy pregnancies. How nice to hear and see testimonials of answered prayers.
Gena and Dinara Korovai received a healthy son! Back in
2013 we wrote about Gena, how God gave him new life! Now he is married and a good father.
 |
| Praying together in unity |
It is such an enormous encouragement for us
to see how God changes human lives! The stories are sometimes too bizarre for words. Twenty years of addiction, being homeless, long prison sentences, no hope of recovery ... and then there is God 💙
 |
| TC men's rehab home |
It is and always remains great to see and experience how people get
hope for the future, hope for their country and hope for their families. We have sung and danced a great deal (especially early in the morning before breakfast!) And we have seen that there is healing, restoration and deliverance in gratitude and joy.
Of course we visited Sergey Romanenko's men's rehab house, where construction for the
new kitchen is in full swing, and also a new women's home (!). But more about that in another blog post.

| With 4 of our interpreters |
Throughout the week we enjoyed the assistance of a wonderful group of interpreters who tirelessly translated all conversations and prayers and words of the Holy Spirit. Without them we would not be able to do that.
Donations for all our awesome projects are always welcome at St. Traveling Light in Papendrecht, IBAN: NL91RABO0118582275 BIC: RABONL2U.
