CAMP HOPE “CAMPUS SPERANTSA” IS BIRTHED IN 2008

There Is Hope Foundation and the First Baptist Church of Bistrita have been praying for five years that God would give us property to build a children’s camp in order to further reach the children who come to the ‘School of Heroes”. Each time we looked at a possibility either there was no water or electricity, it was too expensive, or there were no decent roads to the property. Pastor Ioan Ardelean and the elders had another possibility to show us as we arrived in 2008. After much prayer and seeking God’s will, we decided to make an offer on three parcels of land which together formed 6.1 acres – Final papers were signed in the Fall of 2008 and we will trust the Lord for the rest.

The Team from America sees "Camp Hope" for the first time.

The Romanians had begun working before we got there.

August 2010, One year later the top floor is going up.

Camp Hope is not merely a building under construction but rather a tool to be used to advance the cause of Christ in Romania and throughout this part of the world.

Bricks, boards, nails, pipes and wiring will constitute the building but the love of Christ, practically demonstrated in the lives of those who oversee Camp Hope, will lead many to realize the only "Hope" for their lives.
