Camp for blind people - June 2023.

Between June 26 and July 1, we organized our camp for blind people in Balatonföldvár with 54 participants. We are glad that we had a small group of American volunteers with us, who brightened the life of the camp and were of great help to us.

In the framework of the morning and evening devotions, we prayed and studied the Bible under the guidance of specialists experienced in theology and religious practice. The theme of the week was "Jesus is the light of the world".

As part of our cooperation, Alexandra Nógrádiné Kovács, the chaplain of the Reformed Blind Mission, and Mária Bieber, the president of the Együttlátók Foundation, honored our camp with their presence and teaching. István Durkó, the mission director of the Hungarian Baptist Church, also preached the word in the camp. The campers could testify to their faith. Three people accepted Jesus into their hearts as savior and several renewed their relationship with Jesus. Music was also an integral part of these devotions.

The weather was kind to us, so we didn't miss swimming in the Balaton, which seems natural to sighted people, but making a beach "accessible" and safe for a blind person is not an easy task. With the help of our volunteers, we solved this too, giving the campers a lasting experience.

Campers could also experience sailing on the Balaton. An unusual experience for both the sighted and the blind people.

As in previous years, the camp went very well. The participants were enthusiastic, enjoyed and looked forward to the programs. By the end of the camp, the whole team had become a liberated, loose and united community.

Thank you very much for your prayers and financial support!
