In response, John the Baptist humbly acknowledges his role in God’s plan, stating, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” His words are a strong calling for God’s people to strive for a heart fully surrendered to God’s will.
Our conference president, Jim Micheff, will open camp meeting with his message Friday evening. Our main speaker for the first Sabbath through Tuesday evening will be John Bradshaw, president of It Is Written. Each morning of camp meeting will begin with an early morning worship by Don MacLafferty, the founder and president of In Discipleship, a family ministry designed to help parents lead children to Christ.
Our speaker for the mid-morning meeting will be Oleg Lotca, president of Streams of Light International. Pavel Goia, editor of Ministry Magazine and associate director for the General Conference Ministerial Association, will be the main speaker for Wednesday evening through the second Sabbath and will close out camp meeting.
Our prayer and desire are that camp meeting will be a spiritual blessing to each one. As we devote a few days to seek the Lord together, may the hearts of old and young be encouraged and strengthened in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ.
*Our Hispanic Camp Meeting will take place at Camp Au Sable May 23-25 and our Upper Peninsula Camp Meeting will take place at Camp Sagola Sept. 5-7.
