This year summer camp meeting (April 29-May 2) was different from previous camp meeting since it was held at Tagacpan, Tugbok District, Davao City. Bro. Danny Garcia, made the building near the church of Garcia Memorial available to us. The building so with the church building was owned by the Garcia family and it was not donated to the mission.
Royal Valley SDA Church was very fortunate to be the first user of this building.
The camp meeting was very successful as it reached and touched the lives of our brethren of that area who for a time were not able to fellowship with other churches even if there's a mission churches near in their houses.
They are health reformer before and they are looking for a church who are uplifting the 3 angel's message and they are revived again by the message that we gave. In fact, they are starting to fellowship with us at Royal Valley SDA Church.
One thing that made this camp meeting unique and different also was that it aroused the brethren from the mission (conference). The Garcia Memorial brethren was not aware that on the first day of our camp meeting their district pastor for the first time was there and gather them for a different fellowship. They are supposed to joined in our opening program.
And also on Sabbath afternoon, the district pastor called an emergency meeting to all elders of 10 churches he handled and that meeting was held there right at the building (ground floor) where we gather. We used the upper room for our fellowship. The meeting called for in regards to our presence in that area.
After a month we just heard that the mission already replaced the district pastor of that area.
