For three months now, the brethren of Royal Valley Free SDA Church have been fellowshipping with two churches in Malita - Pangian and Bito. The monthly fellowships, held on the last Sabbath of each month, are conducted as part of our joint efforts to revive the church in Bito and also to help nurture the church in Pangian.
The three churches have agreed to hold the fellowships alternately in Bito and in Pangian. The brethren of Royal Valley then make the three-hour trip from Davao City to attend the fellowship and share in the worship and study.
Please continue to pray for these three churches to prosper more in the grace of God and in the knowledge of His truth.

6th Summer Camp Meeting: Prepare to Meet thy God
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.

6th Summer Camp Meeting
Prepare to Meet Thy God
6th Summer Camp Meeting
Royal Valley Academy, Bangkal, Davao City
April 20-24, 2010
There's grass to be mowed, floors and grounds to be swept, chairs to be arranged, firewood to be stacked, electrical wiring and water piping to be installed, a temporary kitchen to be set up, and pretty much more in between. Preparing the venue is scheduled to last until early Tuesday morning when we will be expecting the first batch of participants to arrive. The camp meeting will formally open Tuesday evening.
We have invited our brethren from different churches and congregations. We are also very thankful that God is blessing this camp meeting with the arrival of Pastor Patrick Herbert and Dr. Diane Herbert from the Gilead Institute of America.
Themed "Prepare to Meet Thy God," this camp meeting will be packed full of spiritual and health messages that are essential for every Christian living in these last days.
The camp meeting is open for everyone interested, including you. We will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Royal Valley Academy has been very kind in allowing us to use the classrooms to accommodate the participants. Registration is free.
Do come, and bring your family and friends with you so they too can share in the blessing.
