Inspired by camp leaders: Yura’s story

Yura Fedoryuk, a co-founder of Camp MAXIMUM and now a pastor in Zolotonosha, was born into a non-Christian family. But after a dramatic change in his parents’ lives after they came to faith, God also turned Yura’s life around. Here he shares the significance of times at camp in his life as a disciple of Jesus.

“I have two special moments in my life when I had a personal meeting with God. The first was one summer, during our church adventure camp. I noticed that the team of leaders were different from people I saw at school and in my normal life. They were not only talking about God's love, but they really showed us that love. And especially to me, because I was that boy who was very active, running everywhere and never sitting still; but they never shouted at me, they just showed me God’s love, and I really felt it.
