RITA FINDS CHRIST AT CAMP "I shall never forget the days I spent at the Christian Youth Camp,” testified Rita Delyiannidou. "That last night was the greatest of all because it was the night I accepted Christ. We were sitting around the fire which kept leaping higher and higher. As the flames rose, so did our enthusiasm and we began to sing hymns. Then our Pastor, Rev. Argos Zodhiates, began to pray. At the beginning two girls confessed Christ and then a real miracle broke out. One after another the young people were confessing the Lord. It was as though the windows of Heaven were opened and God Himself were standing before us, bidding us to come to Him through His Son. Jesus Christ put His hand on my heart as well, and I dedicated it to Him. I said, 'Lord, I give you my heart; I know that You can lead it best.’ ” This testimony could be multiplied over and over in the lives of the under­ privileged Greek children who attend our Macedonian Youth Camp by the sea. They come there pale and under­ nourished; they leave with rosy cheeks and firm flesh. They come with all their childish sinful habits, acquired in the haunts of the very poor; they leave with Scripture verses and Christian choruses on their lips instead of careless oaths. And best of all, they leave with Christ in their hearts and the Word of God in their possession to take back to homes which in many instances , are transformed by their testimonies and changed lives. This year we are expanding our facil­ ities, putting up new buildings, pur­ chasing new equipment. But how will these things become a reality, and how will these poor children be able to attend this "bit of heaven on earth,” unless we as Christians open our hearts to them and give them a month at camp this summer? In America such a project would seem far too costly, perhaps, but in Greece it can be done for only $15.00. Think of it — your little boy or girl (in spirit, at least) to be transport­ ed from the crowded, dirty streets and poverty-stricken homes of the cities to the beautiful mountainous region bor­ dering the blue Aegean Sea! Only $1.00 will provide 20 lbs. of nourishing U.S. Surplus food for these children. Ask the Lord what He would have you do. Send in your gift now. And it may be that Rita’s testimony will be echoed by some other child who has found salva­ tion through Christ this summer because you cared. Write to the American Mission to Greeks, Inc., Dept.
