History
Back in 1991 Harry and Wilma met with Vio Jorza while making renovations at an orphanage Cas Noastra in Arad . Vio shared the need for Sunday school materials both here in Romania and also in Rep. of Moldova. We instantly identified with the problem and prayerfully considered helping with literature for the Sunday school teachers. Within 6 weeks the Lord provided approximately 300 kits of literature at 25 pound each i.e. Visualised Bible lessons, Bible verses songs, flannelgraph boards, pocket boards.
On November the 5th Wilma returned to Romania and held teacher training
workshops with Vio both in Romania and in Republic of Moldova.
Wilma returned again early in 1992 and again we held training workshops
in Romania and in Moldova.
In the winter of 1992 Vio put out feelers as to the possibility of
obtaining land for a camp site in Romania.
On one of Wilma`s visits to Romania she was present when the children in
Vio`s Sunday school prayed for a camp of their own.
The Lord answered their prayer that very night, when
Harry phoned me in Romania to say that he had been offered a portable hall
from a Church of Scotland at Portlethen Aberdeen.
The cost of transporting this portable hall would cost 6,000 pounds. Harry and Wilma were interviewed on a Christian radio show regarding the funds for this project and the Lord supplied, through a lady from Aberdeen whose husband had recently died and she wanted to pay the cost of transporting the hall.
Vio was also contacted with the offer of land in 4 different areas around
Varfurile, Vio Harry, and Wilma visited each site and individually decided
which one we felt would be the best. Each of us decided on the same
site, the site where the camp is now situated.
In the spring of 1993 work started on the original camp site, and then
the portable hall was delivered in sections and repaired and erected on to
the site.
A team from Linlithgow came and helped with the construction amongst some
Romanian young folks.
On July of 1993 we held our first camp for 24 children, and that first
summer we held 6 summer camps.
In the winter of 1993 we CpC started the first Home Bible club, since then they have had up to 40 weekly Home Bible clubs in and around Arad . The un-churched children who attend these clubs have then the possibility to come to camp for 6 days.
