Gdańsk, Shabbat & Olympics
We’ve been very busy with the Holocaust Survivors. Thursday was a nice road trip to Gdańsk, a beautiful city on the Baltic Sea. Yesterday, we did various activities at and near the camp (flea market, crafts, kayaking, etc) with them followed by a wonderful celebration to begin Shabbat – dinner, dancing, and a concert from guest musicians I could have listened to all night. Today, we held Olympic Games. This is one of my favorite days during this camp. They get so into the competition and it is just a great opportunity to just hang out with them.
Kazik has shared that he doesn’t think any of our Jewish friends came to this camp believing in Jesus, but there are some questions being asked that indicate they may leave different than they came. If not believers, at least with seeds planted and hearts a little more open to the possibility. Keep praying to that end!
Here is a collection of pictures to illustrate the events of these days.
