Retiree Camp

 by James 

Last month we helped at a camp near the sea for retirement-age Christians. This was a special opportunity for much of the Berat congregation who fit this age range. So, we rented a bus and helped them get to the camp. While they were there they had Bible studies and singing and ate together at the hotel. In the afternoons they would walk to the beach.

This was a wonderful way for these older members to experience the sea, which is financially unavailable to them.

And a way for them to experience fresh air and exercise as they walked along the beach and then danced together for so long in the evenings that I was too exhausted to keep up with them.

And it was a beautiful way for them to live together as a family in Christ and hear encouraging lessons about God's love. While they were there, three of our regular attendance at the church in Berat made the choice to put on Christ in baptism in the Adriatic Sea. And we had a wonderful little photoshoot in celebration.

There was so much joy and so much life. We were truly blessed to be there to witness it.
