Toward Baikal


Icy mountains



City of Severobaikalsk



Ksenia, Vlad, and Svetlana from Magistralny

Life changing camp

We spent three days on the lake Baikal. We brought three people from Magistralny: Ksenia, Svetlana, and her son Vlad. Ksenia already was in the camp few times during last years, but Svetlana and Vlad came for the very first time. 24/7 with Christian community – life changing time for both of them! Praise God! They participated in all activities (hiking, swimming, playing volleyball, etc) and worship. They prayed, invited Jesus, and asked God to bring HIS order into their lives. Next day after camp, at home group, Svetlana was baptized in the Holy Spirit!

The main topic on Sunday evening was Commitment to God and commitment to our spouses”. Together, we confessed our sins and prayed for marriages, for family relationship. Kids prayed for their fathers… That night will be unforgotten for all of us. Many people said “Yes!” to God and Jesus will bring His order into many lives, many marriages. Praise God! Additional after prayer, the movie “Fireproof” was shown. Then, bonfire! Then, walk under stars. And prayer at the lake shore. Great! Praise the Lord! In the morning, we could hear feedback: it was life changing time!

Also, tabernacle (a special tent) was a prayer place for many people at camp. God answered on many prayers! Praise God!

Below, you'll find many pictures from the camp.
