Shhhh! Jen does NOT want to see this photo of where they keep the camp mattresses. Apart from the scary mattresses and the brown pillows, the building where they have camp (near Lipetsk) is really cool...it was purchased for $10,000 in the wake of Russian economic collapse in the late 90s, and it has so much potential! It was really cool to see the possibilities for growth. Right now, the Russians have finished the first floor, where we have camp. The second floor has had some work done (storage for mattresses and other things) and the third floor is just a shell. The SEND missionary organization is raising money to complete the building, and it is a dream of Jenni's to see it reach full completion.
Many kids couldn't attend camp this year, because they simply ran out of room on the first floor. During summer camp, everyone stays outside in tents so many more kids can attend, but for winter camp, space is limited because only the first floor is completed/heated. When camp is not going on, TCC (Transformation Christian Center) is the home of the Christian rehab center.
