happiness and Christ’s love” in the midst of a challenging world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> For all the
children, it has never been just a drop of fresh air, but a positive
surrounding, where they feel loved and accepted by the leaders of the camps.
They develop friendship with new people and learn to live and spend time in an
atmosphere free of alcohol or drugs. The children live in a Christian family
example—with Bible studies and prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> All those years
life at the summer village house brought a lot of fruits into the life of the
orphans that we help. The camp became a
very important and stable part of our ministry. We do not want to stop. We want
to be able to minister to more orphans and their families in need! We want it
to become a base for different Christian ministries, our guests, to come and
share the love of God with the people who search for it so much!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Will you join us in prayer for continuation
of our summer camp… with a new location and a new name? Will you help us
establish Camp Grace?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We speak of our little summer camp as a “Christian island of
happiness and Christ’s love” in the midst of a challenging world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> For all the
children, it has never been just a drop of fresh air, but a positive
surrounding, where they feel loved and accepted by the leaders of the camps.
They develop friendship with new people and learn to live and spend time in an
atmosphere free of alcohol or drugs. The children live in a Christian family
example—with Bible studies and prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> All those years
life at the summer village house brought a lot of fruits into the life of the
orphans that we help. The camp became a
very important and stable part of our ministry. We do not want to stop. We want
to be able to minister to more orphans and their families in need! We want it
to become a base for different Christian ministries, our guests, to come and
share the love of God with the people who search for it so much!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Will you join us in prayer for continuation
of our summer camp… with a new location and a new name? Will you help us
establish Camp Grace?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last year, eleven children from Luga
orphanage spent two weeks at a summer camp run by New Generation Church at Gatchina,
located just south of Petersburg, Russia. According to Natasha Kirillova,
director of Help for Children, the camp was a, “special time for the orphans to
feel God’s love and care.” The entire camp consisted of around 150 people,
allowing the orphans to spend the weeks surrounded by other families and the
love poured on them by the adults, both experiences they never would have at
Luga.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The children played games with their new
friends, made skits, went on boat rides, learned to bake cakes, went swimming,
and competed in art and sport competitions. For the good-bye party at the end
of the week, camp leaders went into town and purchased pretty new clothes for
the children, who were completely amazed that they could take their new outfits
home with them to the orphanage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some of the
children, especially the older girls, were very closed to people at first. Yet
by the end of their stay, no one wanted to leave. One boy said that he had
never met so many kind people in his life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

divided into small groups and be placed among the children from other families,
which will be very beneficial for them as they will experience community in a
healthy Christian atmosphere and build relationships with people outside their
orphanage. They will be encouraged and loved upon by the caring adults staying
at the camp with them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hopscotch is a little book about LIFE, about life after DEATH, and about BELIEFS. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>

Where is the hopscotch of life taking you or taking a person you know who has not yet believed on God's gift of Jesus Christ? </span></span><br />

When we take that jump, what happens? Does it matter what you and I believe? </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Grace Center in St. Petersburg, Russia, is all about saving children from going into orphanages. (You can read more about the Grace Center here: <a href="http://www.families-for-orphans.org/2014/01/help-for-children-and-grace-center.html">Grace Center.</a>)<br /> <br /> Every year, the moms and children at Grace Center have the rare opportunity to go to a rustic summer camp at Bolshevo. There, they learn basic housekeeping skills and learn more about their Lord and Savior.<br /> <br /><br /> Natasha Kirillova, head of the Help for Children Charity, has let us know of the need for a toilet and a shower at the camp. Currently, there is <b>no toilet</b> and <b>no shower</b>.<br /> <br /> A family in New Mexico (who recently visited the Grace Center) has volunteered to pay up to half the cost of the toilet and shower. <a href="https://secure.etransfer.com/ecomm/donation/donation1.cfm?d2org=BigFamilyMission&d2tool=donate">If we can raise $1750 for the toilet and shower, this family will donate $1750.</a><br /> <br /> This matching opportunity will be available for one more week. If you can help with a <b>donation of any size</b>, it will be <b>matched dollar per dollar!</b><br /> <br /> A group of volunteers from the Ukraine has volunteered to help build the toilet and shower!<br /> <br /> You can make a donation of any size online on our donation page here: <a href="https://secure.etransfer.com/ecomm/donation/donation1.cfm?d2org=BigFamilyMission&d2tool=donate">BIG FAMILY MISSION DONATION PAGE.</a><br /> <br /> Or, you can mail checks to Big Family Mission at the address listed below.<br /> <br /> Thank you for considering this opportunity to bless the families at Grace Center in St. Petersburg, Russia!<br /> <br /> For His Big Family,<br /> <br /> Ken Dockery, Co-Founder and Volunteer<br /><br /> </span></div>
