Testimony from a Camper

“In Severin at the DPB House I came to know God and realize that he had great plans for my life and the lives of my friends. I needed years to accept everything He was offering, but when I did, I did it whole-heartedly.”

This young Croatian’s words are echoed by hundreds of other people who have attended the Scripture Union camp in Severin na Kupi, Croatia. For ten years, the camp has engaged students with the gospel, discipled believers, and trained up leaders to impact Croatia and the world. And, as the young woman above said,

“It would never have happened without Severin.”
 

Camp Background

The camp is a partnership between Scripture Union Croatia and SEND International and also partners with local churches and church plants as they invest into others who are equipped and empowered to live out their faith in Christ.
 
The programs offered through the camp are experiential and multi sensory in nature and allow children, young people and families to step out of their daily routine into God’s creation so they have opportunities to hear and obey God’s word.
 

The Need

Sadly, because of the current financial crisis, many people who want to come to camp can’t afford it. Camp leaders don’t want anyone to miss out on hearing God’s good news because of cost so they have created a project to raise scholarship funds. Gifts will enable campers to attend and volunteer staff to get trained and serve.  The scholarships will also allow the camp to operate year-round and create two new camping opportunities.

Is it Possible?

“I want you to know that God sometimes works slowly, but thoroughly. He never does small things, though we may think they are small…. He wants us to know how much strength we have in Him. We all discover these things in different ways. Me? I discovered these wonderful truths growing up in the house in Severin.”
