The summer camp has been under the management of Filippus Lutsk since the early 2000s. The camp was built during the era of communism in the 1960s and was in poor condition when it was purchased.

Sergei Porokhnavets (our interpreter for many years) oversees the camp and now resides there with his wife Vera and daughter Elvira. The summer home has been widely used by various organizations and churches that have held gatherings and camps, primarily for children and youth. What has been lacking is a gathering place/church on the premises, and during Filippus’ 100th journey, the travelers, along with Sergei, began to consider if it would be possible to undertake a construction project.

During 2017/2018, many volunteers contributed with both materials, money, and lots of time to build for example wall blocks in Sweden. In September 2017, the building blocks for a church were transported to Lutsk with two trailers. The foundation had already been laid, so construction began as soon as all the materials were in place. There were two more trips in March and in the end of May 2018 to arrange everything with sound, light, and a beautiful bell tower. The inauguration on June 2nd was a miracle; no one could have imagined that this church would be in place in less than a year. For God, everything is possible – we are so grateful. Now the summer camp is fully booked throughout the summer and has also been blessed with new bunk beds for accommodations, washing machines, dryers, and water purification, among other things.
