Christian summer camps are a space and place where people encounter God.

That’s the experience of Transform Europe Network (TEN), part of Mission on the Map at CRE 24.

‘Our heart is to come alongside indigenous leaders in Eastern Europe and the Balkans and see lives transformed through compassion, evangelism and church planting,’ said TEN’s Lucy Reid.

One of TEN’s partners, Alban Krasniqi, who leads Youth for Christ Kosovo, shared how transformational summer camps can be in his local context.

‘Most of the young attendees were of the Muslim Faith,’ reported Alban, ‘with many experiencing a Christian camp for the first time and others returning for the third time. These camps are crucial. We see transformation in those who attend multiple times, as they become more open to discussing and sharing their lives and are more receptive to the gospel and its message.’

One of the organisation’s TEN teamers, Ellen,17, from Northern Ireland, shared about her experience this year at Camp Fokus.

‘The group I was with provided unwavering support, engaging conversations, and inspiring testimonies of God’s work in their lives,’ she said.

‘If you are interested in joining one of our TENteams trips next summer,’ said TEN’s Lucy Reid, ‘or as a church would be interested in organising a trip to Eastern Europe and the Balkans, please visit us at the TEN stand at CRE or contact the organisation at tenteams@ten-uk.org.’
