Camp Meeting Attendees Enjoy Many Blessings

What does it mean to pray in the name of Jesus? Pastor Derek Morris held attendees at the Upper Columbia Conference Camp Meeting spellbound as he shared the miraculous story of Jasmine and how God answers His children when they call upon the name of Jesus. 

The camp meeting took place on the campus of Upper Columbia Academy June 17–20. This year stands out for many reasons, not the least of which was the beautiful, warm weather. 

One attendee said, “The weather was perfect. I hope you can duplicate that again next year." 

“While we may not be in control of the weather,” says Paul Hoover, Upper Columbia Conference president, “we are certainly planning for a banner year with John Bradshaw and inspiring music from Rudy Micelli in 2016.” 

Online registration for the 2016 camp meeting, which takes place June 22–25, 2016, opens Oct. 1, 2015.
