Emek Beraka 2009 – Kamp za ODRASLE
Nakon priprema kampa i molitvenog kampa, sezona kampova Evanđeoske crkve zvanično je otvorena Kampom za odrasle.
I ove godine imali smo preko 100 ljudi na kampu za odrasle, od čega 45 odraslih, 45 djece i desetak članova punovremenog tima.
Vremenska prognoza za sedmicu u kojoj se održavao kamp bila je jako loša. Meteorolozi su najavljivali pljuskove sa grmljavinom kroz cijelu sedmicu. Nažalost neki kamperi su zbog vremenske prognoze odustali od dolaska na kamp. Ipak, uprkos prognozi, stotinjak odvažnih se okupilo u ponedeljak poslijepodne. Kiša je padala, večina šatora je propuštala vodu i situacija je izgledala poprilično beznadežna. Podigli smo glas u molitvi i zavapili Bogu, i tražili da zaustavi kišu. Utorak ujutro kiša je stala i do kraja kampa pala je još samo u dva navrata i to vrlo kratko 5- 10 min. SLAVA BOGU. U ostatku zemlje, cijelu sedmicu su bili pljuskovi i bilo je jako hladno. Čuli smo svjedočanstvo od brata koji je došao da nas posjeti iz Čapljine, da je kiša padala cijelim putem, a kada je došao na brdo iznad Boračkog jezera svuda okolo su bili tamni oblaci, samo je nad jezerom i nad kampom bilo vedro. Zahvalni smo Bogu što nas je blagoslovio takvim vremenom da smo mogli ostati na kampu.
Tema kampa je bila „Veliko poslanje“ Mt 28:18-20. Podtema za utorak je bila „Dana mi je sva vlast – ko je Bog“, za srijedu „zato idite“ – potreba za misijom, četvrtak „činite učenike“ – kako biti i druge činite učenicima, i u petak smo gledali na divno Isusovo obećanje „Ja sam s vama…“ Na jutarnjim sastancima smo imali kraće propovjedi i onda diskusiju u malim grupama, dok su večernje propovjedi bile duže sa pozivom na odluku i molitvu na kraju. Većina kampera su bili vjernici ali sa nama je bilo i par prijatelja koji nisu kršćani i imali su priliku da kroz propovjedi čuju poruku Evanđelja. Po povratnim informacijama koje smo dobili od njih, svi su bili dotaknuti i izazvani; nastavimo se moliti za njihovo spasenje. Propovjednici su se smjenjivali, tako da smo imali priliku da čujemo više lokalnih pastora i duhovnih radnika, kao i dvoje misionara. Na kampu nam se pridružio i četveročlani tim iz crkve „Grace Bible Fellowship“, i bili smo izuzetno blagoslovljeni prezentacijom njihovog dugogodišnjeg misionarskog rada u Indoneziji.
Uz obavezne jutarnje i večernje programe, svako poslijepodne kamperima smo nudili različite radionice, kao nprm : molitva, slavljenje, propovijedanje, upravljanje novcem, odgoj djece, brak i odnosi, misija, ples, pravljenje nakita, manikir… Radionice su bile dobro posjećene.
Na kampu smo imali i veliki broj djece, i zahvalni smo timu koji je radio sa njima za vrijeme trajanja programa. Njihova tema je bila „Ja nisam skakavac“ i govorili su o tome da iako su mali, Bog ih može upotrijebiti.
Tako, i ove godine, Bog nas je izuzetno blagoslovio na kampu za odrasle: vremenom, zajedništvom, propovjedima, grupama, radionicama, ljubavlju… Iako su ostali kampovi još u toku, mi već sa nestrpljenjem očekujemo kamp za odrasle iduće godine i pozivamo vas da nam se pridružite.

Emek Beraka 2009 - Adult Camp
After camp set up and the prayer camp, the camp season for the
Evangelical church was official opened with the Adult camp.
This year we had over 100 people at the adult camp of which 45 were
adults and 45 were children plus 10 long term staff.
The weather prognosis for the week of camp was very bad. The
meteorologists said that there would be heavy thunderstorms through
the whole week. Unfortunately some camper decided not to come because
of the weather report. But despite the prognosis a hundred brave ones
gathered on Monday afternoon. The rain fell and a majority of the
tents were leaking water and the situation looked relatively hopeless.
We lifted our voices in prayer and called out to God for Him to stop
the rain. Tuesday morning the rain stopped and to the end of camp it
only fell few more times for short periods of 5 - 10 minutes. PRAISE
GOD! In the rest of the country, for the whole week, they had heavy
downpours and it was really cold. We heard a testimony of one brother
who came from Capljina to visit camp that rain was falling the whole
trip and when he arrive at the top of the mountain that overlooks
Boračko Lake there were heavy black clouds all around except over the
lake and camp where it was clear. We are thankful to God that He
blessed us with good weather so that we could stay at camp.
The theme for the camp was "The Great Commission" Mathew 28:18 - 20.
Under that theme for Tues it was "All authority has been given to me -
Who is God", for Wednesday "Therefore go - the need for missions",
Thursday "Make disciples - how to be and help others to be disciples"
and on Friday we looked at Jesus wonderful promise "I am with you ...".
At the morning meetings we had a short talk and then small group
discussions while the evening talks were a little longer with a call
for decisions and for people to come for prayer at the end. Most of
the campers were believers but there were a few non-Christian friends
with us who had the opportunity through the talks to hear the Gospel.
From the reports we got back from them, they were touched and
challenged, continue to pray for their salvation. We rotated the
speakers so we had the opportunity to hear several local pastors and
Christian workers as well as two missionaries. Joining us for camp
was a four member team from Grace Bible Fellowship church and we were
a really blessed by the presentation about their long term missionary
work in Indonesia.
Besides the mandatory morning and evening programs, every afternoon
the campers were offered different workshops on themes such as:
prayer, worship, preaching, managing your finances, raising children,
marriage and relationships, missions, worship dance, making jewelry,
manicures, etc... The workshops were well attended.
At camp we also had a large number of kids and we are thankful for the
team that worked with them during the time of the program. Their
theme was "I am not a grasshopper" and they talked about how even
though they are small God can still use them.
So this year God really blessed us at the adult camp with the weather,
fellowship, preaching, small groups, workshops and love... Although the
other camps are still occurring we are already impatiently waiting for
next year's Adult camp and we invite you to join us for it!
