\nWhat can I give of myself to others? How do I serve God and participate in society in the identity that I have? Those were some of the challenges the 16 participants and 30 team members<\/strong> and assistants posed to each other at the 12th annual Challenge camp <\/strong>that took place from 23 to 30 July in Sp\u0101re, Latvia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The camp was held together by known and loved activities like morning worship and excercises, workshops and lectures, sports games, a concert and a bonfire.<\/strong> The lectures explored relevant and intriguing topics. Are people with disabilities welcomed in both individual churches and the Church as the worldwide Body of Christ? How can I follow Christ in my everyday life as a wheelchair user? How to make room in my life for life-giving conversations with God? And how to serve God faithfully with the personality type He has given me, be it extrovert or introvert? Regular small group meetings <\/strong>made space for discussing eternal questions and sharing our stories with each other. During free time<\/strong>, participants had the chance to visit a physiotherapist<\/strong>, go on a couching session<\/strong> or consultation<\/strong> over the opportunities in the Latvian social welfare system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The participants encouraged <\/strong>each other by sharing about their hobbies and achievements<\/strong>. During the sports games<\/strong>, participants that are among Latvia\u2019s best wheelchair athletes instructed us in shot put, discus and javelin throw<\/strong> techniques. Some hidden talents came to daylight while preparing sketches based on Bible stories.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Encouragement and teamwork became crucial also in the extreme night<\/strong>, when we literally met the dark and unknown. At 11PM <\/strong>one night, we set out to find different coloured pearls<\/strong> on the ground. In addition, we were to protect ourselves from a \u201cwolf\u201d<\/strong>. The biggest goal became staying as close and unified as possible, as every team had only one flashlight<\/strong>. For one team, this became exceptionally important when one of the members fell out of her wheelchair. But thanks to good and caring teamwork, this episode became a parable of how the Church of God is there to help each other out. Everyone made it safely to the group picture taken around 3AM<\/strong>, with the east sky slowly lighting up behind us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A message that kept ringing through lectures and testimonies was that everyone needs others, and everyone has something to give to others<\/strong>. For this week, borders between people with different abilities disappeared and everyone was seen first and foremost as a personality. For the camp to be successful and enjoyable, everyone\u2019s input was equally important. Several first time participants said that the camp surpassed their expectations, and those who have participated before testified that what they experience at the camp makes them want to come back again and again. One participant <\/strong>told that at this camp, God\u2019s love, joy and peace filled his heart in a way he\u2019d never experienced before, and decided to give his life wholly to Christ<\/strong>. We rejoice together with him, as well as with all the others who had some new seeds planted in their hearts. May these good seeds grow into fruitful trees in our lives, and may the influence of this week keep spreading like circles on water from every participant\u2019s, team member\u2019s and assistant\u2019s lives. Thank you for your generous support in both prayers and finances for making this life-changing week possible! <\/p>\n

\nMida on mul anda teistele? Kuidas saan teenida Jumalat ja osaleda \u00fchiskonnaelus just selle isiksusena, kes ma olen? Neid ja teisi v\u00e4ljakutseid esitasid 16 osalejat ning 30 tiimiliiget<\/strong> ja assistenti \u00fcksteisele 12. suvelaagris V\u00e4ljakutse<\/strong>, mis toimus t\u00e4navu 23.-30. juulil L\u00e4tis Sp\u0101res.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Laagri selgrooks olid juba tuntud ja armastatud p\u00e4evakavapunktid nagu hommikune \u00fclistus ja virgutusv\u00f5imlemine, t\u00f6\u00f6toad ja loengud, sportm\u00e4ngud, kontsert ja l\u00f5kke\u00f5htu<\/strong>. Loengud puudutasid aktuaalseid ja p\u00f5nevaid teemasid: kas puudega inimesed on oodatud kohalikesse kogudustesse ning \u00fclemaailmsesse Kirikusse, Kristuse Ihusse? Kuidas j\u00e4rgida Kristust oma igap\u00e4evaelus ratastoolis? Kuidas teha ruumi eluandvatele vestlustele Jumalaga? Ning kuidas teenida Jumalat just sellise isiksuset\u00fc\u00fcbiga, mille Ta mulle andnud on, olgu ekstraverdi v\u00f5i introverdina? Igap\u00e4evased kohtumised v\u00e4ikegruppides<\/strong> andsid v\u00f5imaluse arutleda igavikulise t\u00e4htsusega k\u00fcsimuste \u00fcle ning oma lugusid \u00fcksteisega jagada. Vabal ajal<\/strong> oli lisaks vanade ja uute s\u00f5pradega vestlemisele v\u00f5imalik k\u00e4ia f\u00fcsioterapeudi<\/strong> juures, kootsingul v\u00f5i konsultatsioonil<\/strong> L\u00e4ti sotsiaals\u00fcsteemis pakutavate v\u00f5imaluste \u00fcle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Osalejad said \u00fcksteist julgustada ka oma hobidest ja saavutustest<\/strong> jagades. Sportm\u00e4ngude <\/strong>k\u00e4igus \u00f5petasid laagrikaaslastele kuulit\u00f5uke-, kettaheite- ja odavisketehnikaid<\/strong> L\u00e4ti parimate hulka kuuluvad parasportlased. Nii m\u00f5nigi varjatud talent tuli p\u00e4evavalgele Piibli lugudel p\u00f5hinevaid sket\u0161e luues<\/strong> ja esitades. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Julgustus ja meeskonnat\u00f6\u00f6 said \u00fclioluliseks ka ekstreem\u00f6\u00f6l<\/strong>, mil s\u00f5na otseses m\u00f5ttes pimeduse ja tundmatusega kohtusime. Kell 23 \u00f5htul<\/strong> alustasime matkam\u00e4ngu<\/strong>, mille eesm\u00e4rgiks oli maast eriv\u00e4rvilisi puup\u00e4rleid otsida<\/strong>. Lisaks pidime end kaitsma pimedas luurava \u201ehundi\u201c<\/strong> eest. T\u00e4htsaim eesm\u00e4rk oli pidevalt olla meeskonnana nii \u00fchtne kui v\u00e4hegi v\u00f5imalik, kuiv\u00f5rd igal meekonnal oli \u00fcksainus taskulamp<\/strong>. \u00dche meeskonna jaoks sai see kokkuhoidmine eriliselt t\u00e4htsaks, kui \u00fcks liikmeist ratastoolist v\u00e4lja kukkus. Kuid t\u00e4nu heale tiimit\u00f6\u00f6le ja hoolivusele sai sellest juhtumist kaunis t\u00e4hendamiss\u00f5na selle kohta, kuidas Kristuse Ihu liikmed \u00fcksteisele toeks on. K\u00f5ik j\u00f5udsid elusalt ja tervelt \u00fchispildile<\/strong>, mille tegime umbes kell 3 hommikul<\/strong>, kui idataevas juba aegamisi helendama l\u00f5i.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00dcks s\u00f5num, mis j\u00e4i k\u00f5lama nii loengutest kui tunnistustest, oli see, et k\u00f5igil on vaja teisi inimesi ning k\u00f5igil on teistele ka midagi anda<\/strong>. Laagrin\u00e4dala jooksul kadusid eraldusjooned erinevate v\u00f5imetega inimeste vahel ning iga\u00fcht n\u00e4hti esmajoones ainulaadse isiksusena. Et laager h\u00e4sti korda l\u00e4heks, oli iga\u00fche panus sama oluline. Mitu esmakordselt laagris osalenut \u00fctlesid, et laager \u00fcletas nende ootused, ning need, kes on osalenud ka varem, tunnistasid, et tahavad t\u00e4nu laagris kogetule ikka ja j\u00e4lle tagasi tulla. \u00dcks osalejatest<\/strong> r\u00e4\u00e4kis Jumala armastusest, r\u00f5\u00f5must ja rahust, mis ta s\u00fcdame laagris t\u00e4itis viisil, mida ta kunagi varem kogenud polnud. Laagri l\u00f5pul otsustas ta oma elu t\u00e4ielikult Jumalale anda<\/strong>. R\u00f5\u00f5mustame koos tema ja k\u00f5igi teistega, kelle s\u00fcdameisse Jumal uusi seemneid k\u00fclvas. Kandku need head seemned meie eludes vilja, ning levigu laagrin\u00e4dala hea m\u00f5ju iga osaleja, korraldaja ja assistendi elus nagu lained veepinnal. Ait\u00e4h eestpalvete ja rahalise toetuse eest, t\u00e4nu millele see elumuutev n\u00e4dal toimuda sai! <\/p>\n
