INVITATION INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE AND LEADERSHIP SEMINAR “Victory in Christ”
AUGUST 21-28, 2013
CAMP O-AT-KA
PORTLAND, MAINE, U.S.A.
After the American Union Conference, which is scheduled for August 12-‐18, 2013, near San Diego, California, the young people from around the world are invited to attend the conference and seminar sponsored by the General Conference Youth Department at beautiful Camp O-‐AT-‐KA on Sebago Lake in Portland, Maine, a center of Adventism’s early rise and development. This is a unique opportunity for the youth to gain a wealth of practical spiritual knowledge to prepare them not only for service in their own countries but also to stand faithfully for Jesus Christ in tests that the world has never before faced.
The concepts that will be presented over the course of one week are cutting edge in the world of leadership training, and they will be seen to be founded on the eternal principles presented in the holy Scriptures and lived out in the life of Jesus Christ. It is astonishing what God is doing and will do to have faithful people ready to give the last testimony to the world and greet Jesus at His coming.
ACTIVITIES: In addition to the seminar and presentation of related spiritual topics, there will be outings for missionary outreach, visits to historical Adventist sites, and recreation in some of the most beautiful natural places on the east coast of the United States.
TRAVEL INFORMATION: Participants should arrange for their flight to Boston Logan International Airport, to arrive before noon on Wednesday, August 21. If, for any reason, one arrives earlier, he will need to make his own arrangements for lodging and meals until he is picked up after noon on Wednesday. For their return flights, participants will be transported back to Boston on Wednesday, August 28, so their flight should be scheduled after 4:00 p.m. that day.
FEES for lodging, meals, and transportation to and from the airport, as well as all outings during the week, total US $480 per person. Participants are responsible for their own flight arrangements, as well as required visas and travel insurance.
