Camping in the Chiguljover Mountains

From June 27 to July 2, 2016 the 13th annual camping retreat was organized by the congregations in Uljanovsk and Saratov. Altogether 30 participants took part. Every morning we started with a prayer time and at the end of the day we had a Bible study, discussing topics from the book of Daniel. On Wednesday we visited the village Schirjajevo, viewed the mine and its tunnels and enjoyed the picturesque landscape of the Volga and its surroundings. Afterwards we walked through the village and up to the mountains to the well. This way wasn’t easy for everyone. Some people were challenged to mobilize their last powers, knowing that the climb down was still to be mastered. But at least the swim in the cold mountain water was refreshing and gave new strength, and everyone returned happily to the camp.
