<\/a>Sound tough? Maybe, but nobody complained. They joined in the music and singing in the twice daily worships, prayed and supported each other, laughed and cried together, and learnt both theory and the many practical aspects of how to share a positive message of health.<\/p>\n\u201cIt motivated and inspired me,\u201d one participant wrote in their evaluation form. Another commented how much their own health had improved while others committed to starting cooking classes back home, operating a health club, or running a health Expo. One summed it up by stating, \u201cI want to focus more on people \u2013 to love them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lectures were given by LIGHT trainers, local health professionals from the Baltic Union, together with Dr Fred Hardinge, Health director at Adventist World Church headquarters, and Dr Torben Bergland from the Trans-European Division.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t just students that learnt. Two public lectures made an impression on the population of Rezekne, as did two health expos where students put their new found skills into practice.<\/p>\n The end of the four weeks saw big smiles on many faces, both for the deep friendships made, the practical skills gained in massage, hydrotherapy, vegetarian cooking, and organising Health Expo\u2019s, and for the certificates they could take home with them.<\/p>\n K\u00fclli now hopes to share those skills with others. She has taken on Dr Hardinge\u2019s words that \u201cwe can do mission work only if we love people from our whole heart, and would like to be their friends and help them.\u201d That way K\u00fclli can introduce her greatest Friend to them. She says, \u201cThank God for this camp and for all the people, who came to support each other and grow!\u201d [ted<\/em>NEWS]<\/p>\n For a full report please visit the Baltic Union website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>For K\u00fclli from Estonia there was an added bonus. She wanted to go on a pilgrimage, but being a mum with a young child, this was not possible. \u201cYet, the time spent in the camp can be called a pilgrimage. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this gave me more opportunities for prayer, reading and thinking about life,\u201d she said. \u201cIt helped me to see things that need changing in my life. It seems like my wish has come true. God knew what I needed. Apart from personal growth, I also learned about nutrition, hydrotherapy, health mission, Bible prophesies and, of course, about different common diseases and their prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n
