After weeks (and even months) of preparation, our 6th Summer Camp Meeting finally came and passed - but not without leaving a trail of priceless blessings.
From April 20 to 24, each of the friends and brethren who came to the meeting was blessed with inspiring messages on health and spirituality. The members of Royal Valley Free SDA Church gladly welcomed the guests who arrived from all over Mindanao. The largest representation came from the church of Pangyan, Malita, Davao del Sur led by Bro. and Sis. Ben Tanyo. They were mostly young people who shared their gift of song and friendship. There were also representatives from Mati, Governor Generoso, Digos City, Valencia, and Kipilas.
On April 21, Pastor Patrick and Dr. Diane Herbert arrived to greatly increase the blessings afforded by the daily meetings. Dr. Diane shared valuable information on health including stress management, dealing with infection, and the importance of Vitamin C for the body. Pastor Herbert started by expounding on the theme "Prepare to Meet thy God," stressing on the significance of wasted moments and unfulfilled duties when we finally face life's record. He ended with a series of lectures on Christian love, courtship, marriage, and family life.
Pastor Herbert also encouraged the brethren to look beyond the horizon, aspire for greater spiritual gifts, and labor diligently to broaden the work of the Lord.
On Sabbath afternoon, six individuals were baptized.
The radio program on Sunday was also made special by the presence of Pastor and Dr. Herbert who gave the spiritual and health lectures.
We continue to pray for each of those who attended the meeting and for God's workers the world over.
