Beginning of a new Semester
In CSC Balti, we had our first meeting of the academic year on Monday, 1st September, together with some of the Christian students who had been involved the previous year plus a new student who said she wanted to be involved this year. We discussed some possible ideas for the coming semester and made a tentative plan. The first event was the following the Wednesday, 3rd September, where we invited all the students from Balti who had participated in the summer English camp. Out of a possible 19 students, 11 students came, which for our small office was already a good number! We had some games, time to share about the camp, photos and food and we also presented to them some of the activities they can get involved in this semester. The next event will be on the 17th September, a special evening for new students, to make them feel welcome and to present to them CSC!

CSC Summer Camp 2014
From the 1st to the 8th of July the annual CSC summer English and Bible camp took place at Vadul lui Voda, a tourist resort just 20 KM from Chisinau on the banks of the Nistru river. A team of 9 staff and students from UCCF Northwest came to help at the camp by leading Bible studies which presented an overview of the Bible, by doing English lessons for the Moldovan students and just generally getting involved in the rest of the camp activities. There were around 30 Moldovan students at the camp, just over half of whom are students in Balti. The response to the camp and in particularly the Bible messages was positive from a number of the Moldovan students, a number of whom said it was the first time they have studied the Bible and asked at the end of the camp for a Bible so that they can continue to study at home. We aim to keep in touch with these students and invite them to our activities in September once the new university term here gets started.
Many photos from the camp can be seen here:

The Translator
Over the Easter weekend two pastors from England visited Moldova being based in the village of Ciuciuieni, which is about half an hours drive from Balti. The pastor of the Church in Ciuciuieni invited me to come as well in order to translate. During each day we spent time with him and his family and also exploring the village and surrounding countryside. Then each evening and twice on Sunday we visited different churches in the county (Sangerei). In total we visited 5 different churches and I transalted 9 sermons from English into Romanian (there would have been 10, but at one of the churches they had their own translator, so I got to rest for a sermon!). Here are a few pictures:
