Brev från Anatoly 2013-09-06

The  Lord has given us some wonderful and blessed days at the end of leaving summer.

Football  is a game, with which different people enjoy: Christians and worldly  people, men and women, church ministers and hesitating people which  do  not  know  how  to  attend  church.  There are kids belonging  to  every  of  these  categories. The Bible says to us that parents  and  spiritual  leaders are responsible  to kids, for their studying,  acquaintance with the Lord and involving them in church. We decided to take part in this uneasy work.

Sport is a good tool for preaching the Gospel. In our serving kids we used New Testament, the testimonies of sportsmen, the games, some show, the Bible examples and, of course, football. There were 60 boys and girls in our camp. Many church home kids and their friends united with orphans graduates. But when orphans learned about our football camp they began to call us to take them to the camp. (That moment they had relaxing in the camp.)

It was very difficult for me to have some negotiation. But our Lord is Majesty!!! So 15 teenagers could come to our football camp.

It was surprised that we had the girls not less than the boys in our camp. After training we had spiritual talks according to the topics:

1. TEAM - God has His own team of players and He invites everyone to unite to it.

2. COACH - Every good player always has a coach. Our coach is Jesus. How to learn Him?

3. VICTIM - It is necessary to take part and even to have a victim from every player in a team to win. Jesus already gave this victim for you.

This camp has given a very blessed experience in preaching the Gospel for kids through football.

God's truth for their memory. May the Lord grow them into salvation. We have accomplished this uneasy work and God is smiling to all of us. Praise the Lord!!!

This camp has given a very blessed experience in preaching the Gospel for kids through football. Heartily we are grateful to Goran Holmberg, Samuel and our dear friends Emma, William, Jacob from Ljurhalla.  We were very excited of their ministry in our Christian football camp. They gave a great blessed impulse for all of us. Thanks for their uneasy work accomplished for God's glory. We are grateful for the equipment which they brought for our camp.

Heartily we are thankful to our brothers and sisters of Missionary church in

Ljurhalla, Hjulet and Covenant Church for your prayers and great support and thank to it we were able to accomplish this blessed football camp.

We are grateful to the Lord for getting such a good experience for holding this football camp.

We want this football ministry to continue and enlarge and we are ready to pray for our next football camp in 2014. Dear friends, please pray for this ministry and may Jesus be glorified through it.

We are also grateful to the Lord for the director of the stadium which we used for training and games in charity. All participants of our camp are thankful to you, our dear friends,  for your T-shirts which will  remind of this blessed time spent in the camp.

But in main we believe that kids will remember Jesus and His teaching which help to grow them up spiritually.

May the Lord help them to grow into salvation. We have accomplished this uneasy work and God is smiling to all of us. Praise the Lord!!!

                 In His Name, your brother Anatoli.
