As children across America head off to Vacation Bible School and church camps this summer, thousands of young people across Eurasia are still waiting to hear about Jesus for the very first time.
“On that day, I made the most important decision of my life and repented,” shares Valentina. “Because of Jesus, my life now has meaning, and I am enjoying every moment with Him.”
Like many children and teens in Eurasia, Valentina did not grow up in a Christian home. When she asked questions about Jesus, her parents warned her not to get involved with a Christian “cult.” As a result, she declined the first invitation she received to attend one of our summer Bible camps.
But our School Without Walls students didn't give up on her. Through their friendship and encouragement, Valentina eventually received permission to attend a youth Bible camp last summer, and that's where her life changed forever.
“I am so thankful for the SWW students who befriended me and invited me to camp,” she says. “My life will never be the same.”
