Miracles in Motion – Morobe Mission One Year On

Miracles in Motion – Morobe Mission One Year On

Last year, we heard about countless miracles from one of the largest evangelistic campaigns ever. Now, one year later, we get to hear how things are continuing to unfold! You may remember some of the stories including miracles of healing, people becoming completely pain-free, and presenters being given the gift of tongues, where the hearers understood them speaking in their own languages—just like Bible times.

Now one year on we are looking at the update, what has happened with the influx on new members, and what can we do to get involved in such exciting times. Don’t miss this inspiring update today in the Big Tent at 11:00 am—it’s a story of faith, hope, and incredible blessings you won’t want to miss.

Spend Time in the Prayer Tent Today

Big Camp is a wonderful time to socialise and learn through workshops. But with no workshops today, it’s the perfect chance for quiet reflection and Sabbath preparation.

The Prayer Tent offers a peaceful sanctuary where you can bring a friend or gather a small group to pray together. Remember, the Bible says “where two or three are gathered.” You can also simply read the prayers others have left and lift them up in prayer yourself.

Take a few moments today to pause, reflect and connect with God.

Fun-Filled Family-Friendly Education Showcase – Today 11:00 am–1:00 pm

Starting at 11:00 am today (Friday 26 September), our schools and Early Learning Centres will transform the Piazza—between the Big Tent and Baenana—into a morning of discovery and delight. Enjoy family-friendly activities, collect a few giveaways, and be inspired by the amazing creations our students and staff have prepared.

Welcome the Sabbath Together

Although sunset is officially at 5:46 pm today, the Opening Sabbath program begins at 5:30 pm in the Big Tent. Come early so the whole camp family can be gathered to welcome this special time with God as one.

Noah’s Ark and Ancient Bible Texts… at the Adventist Aviation Booth?

Look closer at the Adventist Aviation display this year and you’ll spot something unexpected: a 1/100 scale model of Noah’s Ark, a detailed model of the wilderness sanctuary—complete with glowing candlesticks—and early Bible manuscript replicas.

So what do these have to do with planes? Adventist Aviation isn’t just about flight plans, propellers and safe landings. Its mission is to carry the gospel to remote communities, and these stories capture the very message they share.

Stop by to discover the heart of the ministry—and enjoy some fascinating exhibits while you’re there.

Baptised with Their Sword Above the Water

During the Dark Ages, knights were baptised while holding their swords high above the water—a way of saying to God, “You can have all of me… except this.”

At the 25+ tent, participants were challenged to consider their own “sword.” What part of life are we holding back from God? It’s a powerful call to reflection and surrender—a message worth taking to heart.

A Big Thank You from the ADRA hair Team and ADRA Op-Shop

A quick update for everyone who has supported the ADRA haircut station this week: there will be no men’s or ladies’ haircuts on Friday, despite what was advertised earlier. They will be closed the same as the ADRA Op-Shop.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who booked an appointment—you helped raise much-needed funds! We’re especially grateful to our talented team: barber Epa, hairdresser Dr Emma, and our ever-enthusiastic hype man Lyndon.

Some wonderful conversations have been shared in the chair this week, and we deeply appreciate every single one of you who stopped by.

Last Day to Visit the Expo Hall

Discover fresh ideas and opportunities to serve—Adventist Volunteers, Adventist Education, Adventist Careers and a wide range of ministries are all here to inspire you. Come see what’s new and exciting in the Adventist space. Most exhibitors are not able to stay for Sabbath, so today will be the last opportunity to explore the Expo Hall.

Open Friday 2:30–5:00 pm
Closed Sabbath
