We spent six days at th camp on the lake Baikal. Up to 130 people came to the camp to get a fresh air into their lives, ministry, marriage, etc. It was family oriented camp. Christians from eight churches had fellowship together. Many prayers had been answered here. People received encouragement and got refreshed and prepared for the every day walk.
For the first time for many years (this camp we started back in 1997), we witnessed an engagement announcement at the camp!
Beautiful view from the hill
Nearby place of worship to Buddha. Many native people at that area (and not the only) worship to Buddha and to god of Baikal.
The weather during the day in July was hot and people could swim every day (a few times:))
We stayed in one of the tents. Good sleeping bags were helpful during the cool nights.
Old military kitchen was used to prepare delicious meal for up to 130 people (adults and children)
Every evening we had a fun time.
The temperature was going up quickly during the day and down at evening, so we should change our clothes often accordingly to the weather condition.
Every day we had a marriage seminar. Our dining room tent was converted to the class room. Our teaching included many life stories. We shared from our marriage experience and our mistakes. Many couples asked us after classes: "How did you know what was going in our marriage? We could feel that you were talking about us. That's exactly us! Everything about us. What we have done hiding behind our marriage walls, you said it out-loud." Many of them got a revelation, that every couple is going through the similar situations and problems but the difference is how we are acting. May God bless each of us to focus on Jesus in our every day lives.
Clear Baikal water. The lake Baikal contains up to 20% of fresh water in the world!
We went to one of the highest points on the lake Baikal to pray for the healing of the land.
We prayed and blessed all the people of that land around the lake Baikal
