Adventurer Family Camp Celebrates Obedience and Faith

MOUNTAIN PINE, ARK. – The Adventurer Family Camp took place Oct. 10-12, 2025, at Camp Yorktown Bay, drawing more than 280 participants from across the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference territory for a weekend filled with blessings, joy and spiritual growth.

The event was led by Ana Diaz, director of Adventurer Ministries. The youth department, pastors and church members, along with Youth Director David Craig, contributed to making the weekend a meaningful experience. The organizers expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone for their hard work and support.

The theme for the weekend, “Obey,” helped children learn the value of obedience while experiencing Jesus’ love through every activity. Each game, song and worship moment was carefully planned to create lasting memories.

The weekend was more than a time of fun and fellowship—it was a sacred space where the Holy Spirit moved powerfully. On Sabbath afternoon, Kineisha Maxi from the Bossier City Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church in Louisiana felt God’s call. While faithfully serving in the Adventurer Ministry, she made the life-changing decision to give her heart to Jesus. With tears of joy, she declared, “I want to walk with Jesus and let Him do His will in my life.”

Today, Maxi is an active member and dedicated leader, passionate about guiding children and youth to the feet of Christ. She testifies that, just as this ministry led her to experience Jesus’ love, she longs for many more young people to encounter Him through the Adventurer Clubs.

How wonderful it is to see God still working miracles among His people! Across the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference, we continue to witness God’s hand leading, transforming and raising leaders for His glory. We pray that every young person will continue to discover the beauty of walking with the best friend of all—Jesus.
