Missionaries of the Week

Harghita Christian Camp
in Romania   

The team that went to Romania in June spent several days at this beautiful camp for children in the Hungarian-speaking part of Romania.  Stephen and Martha Steiner, members of FBCLA, have supported and helped raise this camp for several years.  Stephen has shared that when the kids come to camp and respond to the Gospel message, they are instrumental in sharing with their parents and encouraging church attendance. The Romania team was able to visit several of the village churches, some in a building project. We visited one church that had an average attendance of only 20, but were building a chapel that would hold 80.  Clearly, they have faith that the church will grow.  The camp director, Rev. Gyula Borzasi, is a very capable, very busy man overseeing all aspects of the running of the camp.  His wife, Marta, runs the kitchen for the 100+ campers they have each week.  For more information, go to their web site, which was created by one of their sons:  www.hargitacamp.ro/en/index.shtml. FBCLA has involvement in three areas in Romania (see map.)
