The camp meeting aimed at preparing the brethren of Area one and 11 for the second coming of Jesus Christ and reminiscing the pioneer's way of doing a camp meeting.

Topics discussed were God's Holidays by Pastor Albert Regoso, Administrative consultant; Spirit of the Pioneers by Mrs. Clemence B. Espereanza, Education associate, and End Time Remnant by Mr. Bonifacio Guevarra, Publishing director.

Moreover, the camp meeting offered instructional in different departments such as Health, Adventist Community Services, Family, Lay Activities, Publishing, Stewardship and Youth discussed by Pastor Richard Mendoza (Health director), Pastor Jose V. Zabat (Family / ACS director) , Pastor Honesto Mercado (SS / Personal director) , Pastor Guevarra, Pastor Diosdado Fofue (Ministerial secretary) and Pastor Jesse Acosta (Youth director) respectively.

Pastor Carmelito Galang Jr., CLC president, served as the divine worship speaker and stressed ‘The Sabbath God Never Changes'.

Likewise, 11 souls decided to accept Christ as their personal Savior by way of baptism, after the second service with Pastor Mercado as the officiating minister.

"Masaya po ako dahil nabinyagan po ako bilang isang Adventista. Tunay na napakasarap sa pakiramdam na mamuhay kay Kristo at sumunod sa Kanya. Sana mas marami pang kaluluwa ang maidala't mapalapit sa paanan Niya," said Ruby Joy Lorenzo of Doungan Church.

This event did not only prepare the brethren for the second coming but it also brought spiritual healing to them as well as developed the relationship with God.

"I am happy that I've been part of this family camp meeting. I became closer to God and learned so many things. I hope that the newly baptized member will be nurtured by the leaders of the church they belong and help them grow in their faith," stated Mr. Alex Rosales of Cabanatuan Church in an interview.

The camp meeting, participated by brethren and pastors of Area one and 11, was headed by Pastor Galang, in the company of the CLC team and district pastors.
