During the Magazine on Tuesday, it became apparent there is much to look forward to this autumn, and the local churches were encouraged to continue in their various efforts.
Here’s a flashback of the summer:
In total, around 16,000 participants attended the conferences: approximately 9,000 in July, and 7,000 in August. Fellow believers have come from 35 countries all over the world.
The youth camp had its own program and took place between the two conferences. In addition, the following were part of the overall program:
18 edifying meetings
Three youth meetings
Four children’s days with options for different age groups (3-12 years)
Two separate days for tweens (11-12 years)
Several days of activities and games throughout the conference area
Four events for seniors
Two episodes of the Magazine, a TV program for members
Six concerts for children, youth and adults
