This year’s day camp will feature an original musical from Prestonwood Baptist Church (Dallas, Texas) that has been specially adapted and translated into Russian. Children will participate in daily rotations of music, choreography, acting, art, and Bible study, culminating in a full musical performance with a high quality technical production.

In this musical production, children become "secret agents" discovering the MaMaLu code, ultimately revealing powerful lessons from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Each day explores different parables of Jesus, including The Good Samaritan, The Mustard Seed, and The Lost Sheep, through creative activities and performance preparation.

This transformative experience will be hosted in the following locations:

Program Dates and Locations:

• Moscow, Russia: June 9-14, 2025
• Omsk, Siberia (Russia): June 30-July 5, 2025
• Belgrade, Serbia: July 14-19, 2025

Gerry Schroeder Shares the Passion behind SlavicWorship

As the founder of SlavicWorship, people often ask me, "Why do you do what you do? What motivates your ministry?"

I was recently reminded of our "ministry why" during the final performance of our 2024 Fine Arts Day Camp in Belgrade, Serbia.

This was the launch of our first FADC in Serbia. I remember sharing with Olga, "We've worked hard and prepared the best we can. We're physically spent. God has promised to do good works through us. And He will."

The first song began tentatively, but the children quickly found their footing, relying on their training and gradually easing into the performance. The audience's supportive applause boosted their confidence. By the time we reached the satirical song "Poor, Poor Pharaoh," where five campers performed as an "air blues band," everyone on stage had shifted from merely performing to having fun.

Then came a key moment in the musical. The campers were singing their hearts out. The lyrics were filled with phrases from Psalms 23 and 27, as well as a promise directly from Jesus:

I will fear no evil.

For my God is with me.

And if my God is with me,

Whom then shall I fear,

Whom then shall I fear?

Oh, Lord, You never let go…

Lord, You never let go of me.

Suddenly, the God who was strengthening me to do good works was speaking to my heart. By the first chorus, I was teary-eyed. Inside, I was standing up, fist in the air, shouting, "YES! And AMEN! You NEVER let go of ME!"

Nothing in my life compares to God speaking to me when I encounter Him. For over 50 years, I've experienced this many times. Our SlavicWorship team and I want others to experience God speaking to them with truth and love—to have their own moments of encountering God.

Simply put—we want to help Slavic people encounter God through Christ-empowered worship.

If you share our passion, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Your involvement—through prayer, financial support, or participating in a ministry project—can help create more moments where people encounter God's truth and love.

Together, we can help Slavic people encounter God through Christ-empowered worship.

Our Theological Premise

Scripture clearly states that salvation and adoption into God's family come by God's grace alone, through our faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. It is not something we can achieve through our own works. And yet, God is shaping us as His masterpieces, intending to carry out His good works. When we offer our lives as a living sacrifice for Him to work through us, this is our worship.

This principle is embodied in the five solae of the Protestant Reformation:

• Scripture Alone (Sola Scriptura)
• Grace Alone (Sola Gratia)
• Faith Alone (Sola Fide)
• Christ Alone (Solus Christus)
• Glory to God Alone (Soli Deo Gloria)

We were created to worship God by allowing Him to work through us in a relationship where He speaks to our hearts and we are able to know and experience His truth and love, ultimately to glorify Him. Embracing this profound relationship with God is transformational.

At SlavicWorship, we call this biblical concept: Christ-empowered worship. We are passionate about creating environments where Slavic people encounter God’s truth and love through Christ-empowered worship.
