New Appointments
I am pleased to announce the appointment by the EEFC Council of Rev Tim Donachie to take over as Chairman, Mr David Collingwood as Secretary and Mr Andy Johnstone as a Member with effect from 1st October 2009. These appointments will come before the AGM for ratification.
I shall be remaining on the sidelines for a short period to assist Council with the planning for our 2010 camps and the implementation of upgrading at Bucsin and Mahanaim.
EEFC Camps 2009
It is with thankfulness to God that I can report a successful conclusion to another year`s camps without any mishaps or misadventures We should all offer a particular prayer of thankfulness that we were protected from the swine flu, which came very close to us and necessitated the cancellation of the Bucsin camp. Fortunately we were able, through the efforts of our past and present Camps Coordinators, to divert the Bucsin team first to Mahanaim and then to a neighbouring site at Peniel being operated by a team from McQuiston Church in Northern Ireland, to whom we express our gratitude.
A total of over 300 young people attended our camps and the reports from our teams indicate an encouraging level of interest from the campers in the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. May the seed that was sown through that Gospel grow to maturity in the hearts and minds of all who heard it so that they too might proclaim it to “ the ends of the earth “.
I wish to thank all the UK teams for their contribution to this valuable and rewarding mission work, remembering these words of Scripture “Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his ways will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins”.
Chairman's Camps Visit
Bereavement
All those who have ever been to our Hejce camp will be greatly saddened to hear of the sudden and unexpected homecall of Jan Victor, son of Rev Istvan and Mrs Judi Victor (Papa and Mama) on 12th August 2009 at the age of 46. Like some of us Jan broke away from the church in his younger days but was later effectually called by our merciful God and thereafter trained and qualified as a minister of the Hungarian Reformed Church.At the time of his death Jan was about to depart with a mission team to serve his Lord in India. God`s providence is sometimes difficult and even impossible for us to understand "until the day breaks and the shadows flee away". The writer of the following poem understood this.
Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas and reveal the reason why,
The dark threads are as needful in the weaver`s skilful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
Jan leaves a widow and six children. Our prayer is that the God of all comfort will uphold them in this hour of need.
