Are you ready to experience a powerful, life-changing spiritual awakening? Join us June 12–15 at the Allegheny West Conference Camp Meeting as we delve into our theme, “The Time Is Now,” focusing on the long-awaited, much-anticipated second coming of Christ. This extraordinary event will feature the dynamic preaching of Emil Peeler, Ricardo Graham, Vivian Martin and Furman “Pace” Fordham. Prepare to be inspired, challenged and transformed as the power of God’s Spirit will be unleashed upon His people.

We are no longer in the time of the end; we have arrived at the end of time. A time when men call “good evil and evil good” is not the time for us to get ready—we must be ready.

This April, as the Mountain View Conference (MVC) moves into a newquinquennium, I cannot help but look back and see how far we have come. God has blessed our small conference with many new people who have committed their lives to Him and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Since our last constituency, we have experienced an almost 10 percent growth in membership, almost double the attendance, and a 12 to 20 percent increase in tithe, depending on the year.

At the age of 16, I became a staff member at Georgia Cumberland Conference’s Cohutta Springs Camp, and later at Northern California Conference’s Leoni Meadows Camp. Because of the positive influence summer camp had on me as a child, I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others too. While enjoying my staff roles, which included a kitchen worker, a counselor, the girls’ director and the assistant director, what inspired me the most was being mentored by other staff members. In turn, I learned how to mentor my campers—especially Mary.
