ALLEGHENY EAST CONFERENCE
CORPORATION OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
JUNE 23, - JULY 3, 2016
CAMPER EDITION
Dearly Beloved,
I have been in great anticipation of your presence at Camp
Meeting 2016 embracing the theme, “Go Tell It.”
The signs of the times tell us that Jesus is coming soon. Wars,
rumors of wars, earthquakes, 175-miles-per-hour winds, back to back
floods, and political strife. As members of Allegheny East Conference
we must do our part to let everyone know that time on this earth is
coming to a close and we must let them know how they can get ready
and stay ready.
Therefore, Camp Meeting 2016 is all about evangelism – seat
learning and street sharing. Yes, we will have sermons, and yes, we
will also impact the Pottstown community to implement what we have
learned. Our theme song proclaims our vision and our mission. (See
page 7)
We are praying that your awareness of the Lord’s soon return
will be heightened and that you will be ready to tell others to look and
live when you return to your local communities.
On behalf of the Camp Meeting Planning Committee, we welcome you to this most awesome of spiritual events for the year. Relax
and enjoy God in the many ways He will reveal Himself to you.
In His Service,
Henry J. Fordham, III, President

merely indicates tornadoes are expected to develop
in the area. Campers, guests, staff, and employees
are required to move indoors.
If there is a tornado warning, campers, guests,
staff, and employees are required to do the following move to your designated shelter area

Read for This Week’s Study:
Eph. 4:12, 2 Cor. 5:15–20, John 4:35–41, 1 Thess. 1:5–8, Acts 14:27
Memory Text: “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him
who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9, NKJV).
Key Thought: Too often evangelism and witnessing are seen as the pastor’s
job alone; this attitude is wrong.
According to Peter, God’s people are chosen, called to be a “royal priesthood.” Because the priests were given a ministry, it follows that if we are
called to the “priesthood,” then we have a ministry, as well. We must understand, however, that we are not called merely in order to perform a ministry. First and foremost God is calling us into a relationship with Himself, and
it is out of that relationship that we are compelled to share with others the
great things that God has done, and is doing, for us. This is at the heart and
soul of personal witness.
Each of us, therefore, has a personal ministry to perform, and it involves
proclaiming the praises of Him who has called us “out of darkness into His
marvelous light.”
This week we will explore the concept of “every member ministry” and see
how each individual experience contributes to the church’s corporate ministry. The point being that each of us has a role to play in the work of outreach
and evangelism.

Lift Him Up
How to reach them masses, men of ev’ry birth?
For an answer Jesus gave a key,
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth
Will draw all men unto Me.”
O the world is hungry for the Living Bread
Lift the Saviour up for them to see,
Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”
Lift Him up by living as the Christian ought,
Let the world in you the Saviour see,
Then men will gladly follow Him who once taught,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”
Refrain:
Lift Him up, Lift Him up,
Still He speaks from eternity,
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth
Will draw all men unto Me.”

PASTOR MEADE J. A. ADAMS
Pastor Meade J. A. Adams has three goals in
life: to be a faithful pastor and inspiring leader,
to be a loving and dedicated husband to his
wife, and be the best father he can be.
Meade’s call to ministry was progressive rather
than instantaneous. He always had a sense of
God’s calling on his life but it wasn’t until attending Pine Forge Academy, from which he
graduated in 2004, that he finally accepted.
While at Pine Forge he served as the United
Student Movement Religious Vice-President. He then obtained a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Religion and Theology from Oakwood University (Huntsville, AL)
and a Master of Divinity degree from Andrews University (Berrien Springs, MI).
Pastor Adams has preached and presented all around the United States and
abroad in Mexico and Tanzania. He is passionate about preaching and teaching the Word in a clear and straightforward way. One of his ministry goals is to
help believers grow in Christ and learn what it means to be His disciples.
Meade feels called to help believers understand that all are called to be disciples and disciple-makers and to equip them for this purpose. His formal ministry
began in 2011 as Youth and Young Adult Pastor at the Dupont Park SDA
Church in Washington DC. He currently serves as the pastor of the New Life
SDA Church in Hampton, VA where he has grown the membership and revived
the fellowship.
In 2011, Pastor Adams was called to his greatest and first ministry as a husband
when he was married to the love of his life, Shaina Tillery. Meade and Shaina
are the proud parents of two daughters Eden and Zion and are expecting a son
in July. Meade enjoys engaging in and watching basketball, football, playing
guitar and harmonica, and composing poetry. At the end of his journey, he
ultimately aspires to hear His Lord state, “Well done thou good and faithful servant; you have fought a good fight.”

Assistant Pastor at Trinity Temple SDA Church. He is currently the Lead Pastor of the BethEl SDA Church in Jersey City, NJ.
Since being at Beth-El Paterson, NJ Pastor Levy has instituted a New Beginnings class for
recent believers, increased community service opportunities, and enhanced the evangelistic
fervor of the church. More recently, Beth-El has added another worship service to accommodate a growing congregation.
In addition to his pastoral duties, Pastor Levy has been consistently active in his community.
He sits on the Board of Trustees for Pillar College in Newark, NJ and serves as a member of
the school’s Public Affairs Committee. He also fulfills his love for religious teaching by functioning as an Adjunct Professor at Pillar College.
Pastor Troy Levy’s main burden in ministry is to help people, especially young people, develop a true love for the Lord. He also desires to lead his parishioners in faithfully sharing the
gospel with those who do not know Jesus. His favorite Bible text is Proverbs 9:10, “The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
