Ballymoney bed push to aid Polish Winter Bible Camp

VOLUNTEERS and friends of a new children's charity called 'vision4kids' which is based in Ballymoney will be holding a Bed Push on 23rd January from 9am to 5pm in the town to raise funds for and support a Winter Christian Bible Camp in Poland, run by another Northern Ireland Charity called Hope for Youth Ministries.

This winter camp aims to host 100 children aged 8-13 years who are very poor, mainly from Polish Orphanages and show them a little Christian love, the camp will not only accommodate and feed the children, but involve them in a host of activities incADVERTISEMENTluding skiing, crafts, sports, games, bible stories, worksheets, singing and horse trekking.

Poland has over 200 orphanages full of children for all sorts of reasons who have next to nothing but the necessities to remain alive and we want to show them the love of Christ in a practical way by bringing them to a Christian bible camp completely free of charge.

The children will be accommodated in a large Baptist Church and looked after by vetted adults for children's work to ensure their safety. It will take approximately 50 to bring each child to this camp (1 of 3 planned for early 2010) and all funds raised will go directly to this needy work with all expenses being paid by those travelling themselves.

The organisers are pleading for help in reaching out to these little children by giving a little as you see them on the roads on Jan 23rd and keep this needy work in their mind and prayers..(if you would like to sponsor a child directly, you can do so by contacting Colin Tinsley of (www.hopeforyouthministries.org)
