With so many disasters occurring, especially in the Southern Union, it became clear that cities, churches, and members needed to be refreshed on skills learned in Pathfinders. The Adventist Community Services (ACS) Disaster Response joined with the Youth and Children’s Ministries departments to create a weekend of off-the-grid and country living training and renewal. The readiness event was held at the South Atlantic Conference River Oaks Campground in Orangeburg, S.C.
The event hosted several workshops, including radio communications, disaster preparedness, land navigation, camping, fire building, growing unstoppable gardens, food preservation, and food canning. Attendees came with their families to camp and glamp. Some attendees pitched tents, and some opted to stay in campground housing for this epic experience. The summit was highlighted by information received, tasty food, and a spirit of togetherness.
The attendees were challenged to be prepared to live off the grid while remembering their responsibility to educate and serve those in the cities. Ultimately, attendees were challenged to reaffirm their trust in God so their hearts and minds would be ready as the end-time world events unfold.
