Throughout July and August we'll meet every Sunday in different homes engaging with 1 Timothy and following the John Stott Bible Studies commentary for Study Groups.

Exch@nge Camp Budrio 2016!!!

We're now enjoying Summer 2016 and
we're over our 3rd Exch@nge Camp in Budrio!

We feel so overwhelmed by the incredible ways in which the Lord has blessed this Camp. We had a total of 42 local kids who enrolled to the Camp, including 3 from a local Safe-Home for teens and
4 from families followed by the Social Services!

On Sunday we had 100+ people who came for the Service,
70 of whom were campers and their families!!!











We are always very encouraged by the passion of the US team from Bethel of Houston Church & the UK team from The Crowded House in Loughborough!

This year 4 local traders helped us in sponsoring the Camp for a kid from the Safe-Home or the Social Services. We value so much this response from the community and the relationships we're building!!!

Exch@nge Camp - Day 5 - Let's Ch@nge



Final day at the Exch@nge Camp 2016 in Budrio.

Yesterday we had our fourth Talk from John 3:16.
Justin lead this time explaining that when we try to search for our own liberty, we end up enslaving ourselves to our emotions. Liberation is once for all and is something that we experience and need to remember each day. “If the son sets you free, 
you are free indeed!”









The American kids in every group answered to this question: What does it mean for you to be truly free?




 






We really enjoyed playing Rugby with Colin and Texan Line Dancing with the Houston Team!
