Texas Vision
My husband loves to camp, and because I love my husband, we go camping together from time to time! Besides camping on our own, camp meeting has served as a great time to reunite with our friends who live a little further away. Camp meeting tends to feel like a great big family reunion when we get together and sing and praise together. One beautiful thing about our church is the diversity within our family of believers.
The past few years of camp meeting may have looked slightly different because of the global pandemic, but as we begin to gather again, camp meeting is once again serving as an opportunity to reengage with the greater church outside of our church building.
One of the development projects at Lake Whitney Ranch is to build an open-air pavilion, allowing 5,000 people to gather together for camp meetings and camporees. The Texas Vision offering benefits three areas within the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists: worthy student funding for our academies (25%), Lake Whitney Ranch development (50%) and church or school building appropriations (25%).
The word of God says, “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, ESV).
Seeing what’s happening across the conference can give us the strength to keep working locally, knowing we are part of an even larger body of believers! Please consider giving generously to our Texas Vision offering today.

Visión de Texas
A mi esposo le encanta acampar, y como yo amo a mi esposo, vamos de campamento juntos de vez en cuando. Además de acampar por nuestra cuenta, las reuniones de campamento de la iglesia son un gran momento para reencontrarnos con nuestros amigos que viven un poco más lejos. Estos campamentos tienden a sentirse como una gran reunión familiar, cuando nos congregamos y cantamos y alabamos juntos. Algo hermoso acerca de nuestra iglesia es la diversidad dentro de nuestra familia de creyentes.
Los últimos años de campamentos pueden haber sido ligeramente diferentes debido a la pandemia, pero a medida que nos reunimos de nuevo, vuelven a darnos la oportunidad de comprometernos con la Iglesia en otro ambiente.
Uno de los proyectos de desarrollo en el rancho Lake Whitney es construir un Pabellon al Aire Libro, permitiendo reunir a 5,000 personas en campamentos de iglesia o de los Conquistadores.
La ofrenda Visión de Texas beneficia en tres áreas a los Adventistas de la Conferencia de Texas: financiamiento estudiantil para nuestras academias (25%), Desarrollo del Rancho de Lake Whitney (50%) y compra de edificios para Iglesias o escuelas (25%).
La palabra de Dios dice, “Por lo cual, animaos unos a otros, y edificaos unos a otros, así como lo hacéis” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:11 RV60).
Ver lo que está sucediendo en la conferencia puede darnos la fuerza para seguir trabajando localmente, ¡sabiendo que somos parte de un cuerpo aún más grande de creyentes! Considere donar generosamente a nuestra ofrenda de la Visión de Texas hoy.
