In the spirit of Art Linkletter'sKids Say The Darndest Thingswe

I thought you would appreciate thefollowing account from George Bajenski At thecamp for Ukrainian Jewish children in Ostr6da,during one lesson on the 10 Commandments,the teacher described how Cod was talkingwith Moses with a very loud voice and eventhunder When the question was asked, Whatwould you do if God were to speak to you likethat? one little girl answered, I would pee mypants. She understood, perhaps for the firsttime in her life the enormity of God speakingto her.

The camping season in Central Europe is infull swing. We have commitments to 12 campsin Ostroda, Poland, 3 camps in Belarus, 2camps in Ukraine, and 1 camp in Lithuania.These include camps for Jewish children and

which God has called them. If you arebe a vital part of this ministry your gifhighlyvalued. Please send in your contto Global Missionary Ministries withindicating that it is for Camp Outreach.

Poland is probably one with whom we havemost contact. Reasons for this might bebecause of our long ties with this congregation, or because of our ongoing work withPolish churches of which Andrew is one of
