ICE-COLD WATER ADDS EXCITEMENT TO GVR BAPTISMS

Rajmund Dabrowski – Ward, Colorado … Just as Rocky Mountain Conference youth director Brandon Westgate was about to step into the Glacier View Ranch Lake to baptize one of seven candidates, he asked candidate Alaine who she wished to baptize her. “Jessyka!” was her decisive answer. Little did she know during this short exchange that she would be stepping into a near ice-cold water.

Brandon, along with Jessyka Dooley, his associate, and one of the summer camp directors, were the officiating ministers. Stepping into the water that July 1 Friday afternoon was a life-changing moment for seven campers as they declared their belief in Jesus Christ.

PASTORAL CALLED CONVENTION

RMCNews with Shayne and Gabriela Vincent – Lexington, Kentucky … After the hustle of preaching at their churches on June 18, Pastor Shayne Vincent and wife Gabriela made their way to the Denver airport from Wyoming for a 3 a.m. flight to Lexington, Kentucky. This was their first quinquennal North American Division (NAD) pastoral meeting, and it was a huge blessing.

Shayne met with old friends he had not seen in nearly two decades. Gabriela visited with her family who pastor there in the NAD. They also enjoyed meeting with friends they had come to know only through social media. More than 5,000 pastors and their families came from all over North America.

COMMENTARY: IN HIS IMAGE

Doug Inglish … “So, God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27, NIV)

I am sure we have all contemplated what it means to be made in the image of God. Mostly, I think we consider it in terms of having been formed to physically resemble the Creator, in that we walk upright, have opposable thumbs, etc. So far, so good, because there are indications in Scripture of our physical resemblance.

BAPTISMS AT CAMP

Brandon Westgate – Ward, Colorado … Every year at Glacier View Ranch during our summer camp program, some of our campers decide they want to begin or better solidify their spiritual journey with God through baptism. These campers may be divided into a few different categories.

Some of these campers come to camp already prepared to be baptized. They have studied and have talked to their parents who are excited for their decision. There are others who have been involved in their local church and have grown up in a healthy faith community who have an experience at camp that compels them to decide to be baptized. Then there are some who come to camp with very little exposure to organized religion. They have not grown up in a faith community, yet because of what they learn about Jesus at camp, they decide to begin a faith journey with Jesus through baptism.

ADVENTURES OF A LIFETIME

Samantha Nelson – Cody, Wyoming …What happens when two Pathfinder Teen Leaders in Training (TLT) team up with their pastor and his wife? The adventure of a lifetime!

From June 12-28, Pastor Steve Nelson and wife Samantha took Dean and Cedar Jeffers, two teens from the Cody Seventh-day Adventist Church on an incredible adventure they likely will never forget!

As part of achieving their Pathfinder advanced honors, Cedar and Dean were to learn more about church history and how the church operates. They drove to the top of Pike’s Peak before sitting in on the Rocky Mountain Conference Executive Committee meeting in Denver the following morning. Committee members were very welcoming as the teens experienced the Conference-wide “church board meeting,” as it was described to them.
