SOQUEL CAMP MEETING 2023

The Next Chapter

Soquel Camp Meeting July 13–22, 2023

Welcome Bienvenidos Soquel Camp Meeting. The words bring memories of inspirational music and speakers, informative seminars, fun and food with friends and family, activities for the youth and children, and much more.

As we gather once again, this time for the full ten days, we will experience all these things, perhaps in a simpler and deeper way after the separation caused by COVID. But when we finish our time here at Soquel, we need to hear Jesus’ call, found throughout sacred Scriptures, “Arise and Go!” “Arise and Go” to the wicked cities and neighborhoods that need Jesus. Jonah 1:2; 3:2.

We tell those who are paralyzed by the burdens of sin, shame, and addiction, “Arise and Go” because Jesus has made you well. Mark 2:11.

As we share the incredible non-judgmental love of God with our neighbors and coworkers, they say, “I will Arise and Go to my Heavenly Father because He has a place for me in His house." Luke 15:18.

Each day as we ask the Lord for divine appointments, He will tell us to “Arise and Go” to those most receptive to Him and His Word. Acts 8:26.

When we are afraid of being misunderstood, we will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit telling us to “Arise and Go, doubting nothing.” Acts 10:20.

During this Soquel Camp Meeting, may you be listening carefully for His voice so when you return home, you will be ready to “Arise and Go” for Him each day!

Encuentro Campestre Soquel. Las palabras traen recuerdos de música inspiradora y oradores, seminarios informativos, diversión y comida con amigos y familiares, actividades para jóvenes y niños, y mucho más.

Mientras nos reunimos una vez más, esta vez durante los diez días completos, experimentaremos todas estas cosas, quizás de una manera más simple y profunda después de la separación de COVID. Pero cuando terminemos nuestro tiempo aquí en Soquel, necesitamos escuchar el llamado de Jesús, que se encuentra en las Sagradas Escrituras, “¡Levántate y ve!”

“Levántate y ve” a las ciudades y barrios perversos que necesitan a Jesús. Jonás 1:2; 3:2.

Les decimos a aquellos que están paralizados por las cargas del pecado, la vergüenza, y la adicción: “Levántate y ve” porque Jesús te ha sanado. Marcos 2:11.

A medida que compartimos el increíble amor de Dios que no juzga a nuestros vecinos y compañeros de trabajo, ellos dicen: “Me levantaré e iré a mi Padre Celestial porque Él tiene un lugar para mí en Su casa." Lucas 15:18.

Cada día, mientras le pedimos al Señor citas divinas, Él nos dirá “Levántate y ve” a aquellos más receptivos a Él y Su Palabra.

Hechos 8:26.

Cuando tengamos miedo de ser mal entendidos, oiremos la voz del Espíritu Santo diciéndonos: “Levántate y ve, sin dudar nada." Hechos 10:20.

Durante esta reunión campestre de Soquel, deseamos que escuches con atención Su voz, de modo que cuando regreses a casa, estés listo para “Levantarte e ir” por Él todos los días.

He leads in the association’s areas of Evangelism, Church Planting, Global Mission, Church Growth, and Mission to the Cities for the Adventist Church in North America.

Whether through live presentations, television and radio, CDs and DVDs, or through her internationally published books and articles, success stories pour in from the four corners of the world.

As a sought-after charismatic speaker who presents practical brain-function information in entertaining, educational, and empowering ways, her illuminating seminars are life-changing.

Taylor has spoken to thousands of attendees around the world and is frequently invited back—perhaps the biggest compliment a speaker can receive.

Children’s Registration Welcome to our enriching children’s program! Our devoted team shares a passionate commitment to nurturing a personal relationship between your child and Christ, offering them a profound understanding of His boundless love and compassion. Our initiative, rooted in faith, is all about helping each child recognize that they are individually cherished by God. We aspire to create an environment where they can experience His kindness and mercy, inspiring a transformative journey towards growing in His image.

Every year, our dedicated leaders invest countless hours into carefully crafting the program’s structure. We ask for divine guidance, selecting stories and activities that will deeply touch each child’s heart and mind. Our staff members don’t just see themselves as guides; they strive to build meaningful relationships with the children, hoping that through these interactions, the love and kindness of Christ shines brightly.

We warmly invite you to join us in this mission, contributing your prayers for the success of these children’s gatherings. Together, we can create an unforgettable spiritual experience for your child.

Our mission is to foster a personal connection with Christ, imbue

the understanding of God's love, promote engagement with His teachings, encourage healthy choices, provide engaging educational activities, and cultivate a lifestyle of service and outreach.

______________________________________________________________________

Registration not only makes it possible for your child to attend programming designed specifically for their age but also helps security. If something happens to your child, security can find you through their wristband number and the information provided during registration. Whether you are at Soquel just for the day or for the whole camp meeting experience, your child must be registered.

Pre-registration

______________________________________________________________________

For a smoother, more convenient experience, we encourage preregistration. Children who have been registered through cccregistration.org can go to our "will call" table to get wristbands, then head directly to their division tents.

If you haven’t preregistered, please use the provided QR Code to register your children. Then proceed to the Children’s Registration Booth to finalize your registration and receive wristbands.

Easy Steps to Register Your Child

______________________________________________________________________

1. Eligibility: All children from birth to 12 years old are required to be registered.

2. Medical Form: Please ensure you fill out the medical form comprehensively.

3. Wristbands: Upon completion of the registration, a color-coded wristband will be given to both the child and the parent.

4. Parental Identification: Parents will also receive corresponding numbers that need to be shown at the division tent when picking up their Kindergarten or Primary aged child(ren).

Age Specific Program

______________________________________________________________________

Each division leader prepares a program designed specifically for your child. This makes the program more impactful for the child. It also makes it easier for staff to relate to the hundreds of children that come to each division. Please respect the process and truthfully give your child’s age.

Writsbands BEGINNERS: Birth–3 yrs. Yellow Wristband KINDERGARTEN: 4 yrs.–6 yrs. Red Wristband PRIMARY: 7 yrs.–9 yrs. Green Wristband JUNIORS*: 10 yrs.–12 yrs. Blue Wristband ​ *Juniors may leave at the end of the meeting without parent pickup

Forgotten Angels

______________________________________________________________________

Due to the hustle and bustle of camp meeting, some children aren’t picked up until very late. This only causes distress for the child and for the staff (who need a break before preparing your child’s next meeting).

Fifteen minutes after each child’s program ends, all children not picked up will be taken to the “Forgotten Angels Station” located at the Children’s Registration Booth. If after 30 minutes the child is still not picked up, security will be notified.

Wristbands Replacement

______________________________________________________________________

In case of a lost or broken wristband, replacements can be obtained at the Children’s Registration Booth. The first replacement is free, and for subsequent replacements, a donation will be requested.

If a parent has lost their number, a new band will be issued after they present their approved photo ID to the registration team.

Rules for Safety

On-Site Registration Location & Times

To maintain a secure environment, we have implemented several safety measures.

• Children must wear wristbands at all times.

• Parents who have misplaced their pickup number must present their approved photo ID at the registration booth to obtain a new number before picking up their child(ren).

• Only a parent or guardian is allowed to pick up a child.

The Children’s Registration Booth is located north of the Main Auditorium in front of the Kindergarten Tent. ​ Weekdays: 8:00–11:30 AM; 6:00–9:00 PM Sabbath: 8:00 AM–1:15 PM; 6:00–9:00 PM

Este enfoque amplifica el impacto del programa y ayuda a nuestro personal a conectar efectivamente con todos los niños. Nosotros le instamos a que proporcione la edad exacta de su hijo. Así es como nosotros categorizamos la edad de los grupos:

Pulseras CUNA: Nacimiento–3 años Amarillo INFANTES: 4–6 años Rojo PRIMARIOS: 7–9 años Verde MENORES*: 10–12 años Azul ​ *La clase de Menores pueden irse al final de las reuniones. Sin que los padres los recojan.

Poliza “Ángeles Olvidados”

______________________________________________________________________

Entendemos que por el ajetreo y el bullicio del campamento a veces puede causar retrasos en recoger a su hijo. Para asegurar su comodidad, los niños que no sean recogidos 15 minutos después al terminar el programa serán escoltados a la “Estación Ángeles Olvidados” ubicada en la estación de Registro de Niños. Sí un niño permanece sin ser recogido después de 30 minutos, notificaremos a seguridad para obtener más ayuda.

It is gratifying to highlight the remarkable ways the Central California Conference is leveraging resources for evangelistic endeavors. In the wake of the global pandemic, our commitment has solidified, propelling us to reach further, aim higher, and strengthen our resolve in anticipation of the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our annual Soquel Camp Meeting ministry remains a pivotal conduit for divine service, catalyzing evangelistic momentum and instigating outreach initiatives across Central California. The continuity of this significant work relies on your unwavering commitment and dedication as a partner in evangelism offerings.

Your sacrifices are deeply appreciated, particularly now as we approach His imminent second coming.

Every donated dollar is treasured and allocated towards the most vital work conferred to us. Through prayerful dedication, we distribute GLOW tracts, train budding evangelists, fund public evangelism efforts, develop church plants, and pioneer various evangelistic programs. Notably, we've inaugurated a digital evangelism department, a groundbreaking initiative for any world church conference, designed to leverage innovative strategies to reach 10 million individuals within our territory.

Numerous extraordinary ministries, supported by your generous contributions, are dedicated to fulfilling the mission bestowed upon us by Jesus Christ. These include:

Fill Every Baptistry Initiative involves comprehensive

training for a diverse group of lay leaders, including men, women, and youth. These leaders spearhead evangelistic efforts within various local churches during the spring and fall of each year. We give thanks for the grace of the Lord, as we welcomed 652 new Adventists into the church families of Central California in 2022, and 472 in 2021. This initiative has contributed to a nearly 50% surge in baptisms within just a single year.

Growth Hotspot Initiative acknowledges those churches with 15

or more new baptisms as Growth Hotspots. Eight of our church districts have achieved, and in some instances even exceeded, this Growth Hotspot status.

Fill Every Desk Initiative is pioneering inventive strategies to

enhance student enrollment in our schools. This initiative operates on a grantbased system, offering a monetary incentive of $10,000 to those schools that achieve their expanded enrollment targets.

Least Reached Regions (LRR) Missions: This year, we’re sending three LRR Mission Teams to Ireland, Georgia, and Lebanon.

GLOW Tracts Distribution:

Almost 150 million GLOW tracts have been distributed worldwide to date, including 1 million in Ukraine, 1 million in Argentina, and 3 million in Bolivia.

The Great Controversy Distribution:

Our objective is to share this impactful book with every North American household in the upcoming years. We're partnering with the fervent ministry "Streams of Light" to facilitate its distribution across Central California.

32

Church

Planting

Last year, we planted 6 new church mission groups, and this year we anticipate establishing at least 10 new groups.

Community Outreach: Partnering with organizations like CityServe,

we address our community's needs. A $100,000 North American Division grant supports our food pantry ministry in many local churches. During the Santa Cruz Lightning Complex fire and the Creek Fire, our Soquel Conference Center and team provided crucial shelter and support to hundreds of evacuees.

Boost Youth Initiative: We aim to start 100 new Pathfinder and Adventurer Clubs and Youth Groups in the next year.

33

Arise and Go Training:

We offer comprehensive training in areas such as Sabbath School, Pathfinder, Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Digital Evangelism. This is to empower lay leaders in each of the eight regions of the Central California Conference every spring.

Additionally, our Digital Academy Training is accessible online at www.cccadventist.org.

Digital Evangelism:

We've launched a Digital Evangelism Prototype project in collaboration with NAD and GC. Around 45 churches from our conference have joined. Through digital advertisements and prayer, we plan to reach out to our community more effectively.

Life Hope

Centers

Santa Maria Seventh-day Adventist Church commemorated reopening on April 23, demonstrating Jesus's spirit of service and compassion, and making a significant impact on their community. Over $83,000 worth of services were freely provided to the community, highlighting the center's commitment to service. This is just the beginning of their journey, with plans to extend their services to other regions, including Silicon Valley and Fresno, showing their ambition to reach out and help even more people.

As you faithfully return tithe and give to your local church, the Lord strengthens what we have. Your generosity to Conference Evangelism offering allows us to go farther and faster in Jesus' mission! As you consider your contributions, remember their profound impact on fulfilling God's mission here in Central California. Every dollar is handled with the utmost duty, responsibility, and privilege.
