Have you gone without food for even one day? One little Greek boy told us he stole, simply because he had to live. He had no parents to watch over him. His mother was dead—he had no knowledge o f his father. War and persecution have inflicted a terrible shock on many o f the Greek boys and girls. A fortunate few are taken in by aged grand parents. They live in damaged buildings, living monuments o f war. As the children grow their appetites increase but there is little increase in their food ration. What a tragedy it is to read reports that there are four hundred thousand orphans and ne glected children in Greece? And what a tragedy to see them— as I have — and then to have to leave them forsaken and forgotten. But thank God The European Evan gelistic Crusade and its missionaries in Greece recognize the overwhelming physical and spir itual need o f these children. This summer it is our urgent desire to send these neglected, underprivileged children o f Greece to a CHRISTIAN SUMMER CAMP right in Greece. In this camp, children who have suffered so much physically will be given a pleasant change from their drab surroundings.
We desire to feed and clothe them properly, but best o f all we long to tell them o f the wonder ful love o f God as revealed in Jesus Christ. Here is a challenge to God’s people. This Summer CAMP will only be possible if you catch the vision o f this tragic land and put your shoulders to the wheel. We cannot do it without your prayers and without your help. These children have no one to guide their steps aright. Here is your opportunity to be come both father and mother to some Greek child. You will have a far happier vacation if you know that some needy boy or girl is at our Christian Summer Camp because o f you. Twen ty dollars ($20) will help send one child to a summer camp for one whole month ($ 5 a week). Would you be willing to invest this amount, or part o f it? Your gift will give a Greek child at least one chance o f happiness and at least one oppor tunity to hear the message o f our Saviour’s love.
