Dear Southwest Region Conference Family:
We are now hours away from the start of English Camp Meeting 2022! Excitement is in the air, and we believe that God is going to do mighty things at Camp Meeting, June 15-18, 2022!
It’s not too late to make the decision to join us! While housing is fully occupied on the campground (Lone Star Camp) and hotel and dormitory (Trinity Valley College - Security Chief Stewart Newby at 903.675.6235) accommodations are limited in the surrounding areas, we want to encourage you to make special effort to join us! Feel free to make contact with some of the neighboring hotels in Athens, Tyler, Chandler, or Corsicana, TX. Or, join us on Sabbath, June 18, 2022! Believe me! You’ll be glad you did.
For the complete listing of our Camp Meeting worship schedule, activities, workshops, cafeteria/snack bar menus, etc., please visit our website at southwestregionsda.org.
For our Camp Meeting this year, we will be receiving a very special offering in harmony with our theme, “Moving Southwest ‘4’ Ward.” These funds will directly support: 1) Evangelism, 2) Adventist Education, 3) Digital and Media Ministry, and 4) Youth and Young Adult Ministry in our conference territory. We have set a goal of $500,000 to raise before year’s end. By God’s grace, and through your support, we shall reach our goal! My brothers and sisters, conference workers and members alike, as we all lift, the load will be lighter. Specifically, we need the following:
50 Individuals (Giving Units) give $1,000.00 = $50,000.00
150 Individuals (Giving Units) give $500.00 = $75,000.00
500 Individuals (Giving Units) give $250.00 = $125,000.00
2,500 Individuals (Giving Units) give $100.00 = $250,000.00
Goal: $500,000.00
Charitable gifts can be given at one time, or spread over the seven month period (June through December, 2022). All gifts are sincerely needed and appreciated. Please come to Camp Meeting ready to remit your special offering.
Or, you can remit your gift in one of the following ways:
Mail: Southwest Region Conference of SDA
2215 Lanark Avenue
Dallas, TX 75203
Memo: Moving Southwest 4 Ward
Telephone: 214.943.4491
Cash App: $SWRGC
Online: southwestregionsda.org
Immediately following Camp Meeting, we will have Summer Camp for youth, ages 7 to 17, commencing from June 19-26, 2022 also at Lone Star Camp! Given the rising inflationary costs we’re experiencing in society at this time, we have decided to do our best to make Summer Camp attendance as affordable and obtainable as possible for our young people to attend. Hence, we have lowered the Summer Camp fee to only $150.00 per child this summer! We have nearly 150 young people already registered for summer camp, and it’s not too late to register your child(ren)! For more information, please visit southwestregionsda.org or register with AdventSource.
We thank you very much for your prayers and support for the cause of Christ in the Southwest Region Conference. Together, let’s continue to “Move Southwest ‘4’ Ward” and hasten the return of Jesus Christ!
I look forward to seeing you at Camp Meeting! May God continue to bless you is my prayer.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carlton P. Byrd, President
