The Old-Fashioned Oregon Camp Meeting was truly a special season of spiritual renewal, worship, fellowship, and revival. For several days, August 4-9, 2026, at Apserkaha Campground in Ashland, Oregon, God’s people came together to pray, study the Word, encourage one another, and listen to the pure, unapologetic preaching of the present truth messages contained in the Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation 14. The purpose was to lift up Jesus Christ while faithfully proclaiming the distinctive truths God has entrusted to His people for this solemn hour of earth’s history.

God blessed the meetings in a very special way. Four precious souls publicly surrendered their lives to Christ through baptism, while hundreds more responded to the appeals, rededicating their lives to the Lord and committing themselves to do more to advance the work of Christ on earth. These decisions reminded us that camp meeting is about much more than simply hearing good sermons. It is about lives being changed, convictions being deepened, faith being strengthened, and God’s people being awakened to the responsibility of preparing themselves and helping prepare others for the soon return of Jesus.

One of the greatest blessings of camp meeting is something that cannot be fully duplicated through a computer screen or social media platform. Online ministry allows the message to reach people across the world, and we thank God for that tremendous opportunity. But at camp meeting, we can move beyond online viewership and meet people personally. We prayed together, shared meals, heard testimonies, engaged in conversations, encouraged those who were struggling, and built lasting relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ. That personal touch—face-to-face Christian fellowship—is something that is often missing from our online presence.

God also blessed each of the speakers. Though each speaker brought their own unique experience, emphasis, and style of presentation, every message consistently pointed us back to Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, Bible prophecy, holiness, spiritual preparation, and the present truth that God has given His people for this time. We were challenged, encouraged, inspired, and affirmed in our commitment to the everlasting gospel and the Three Angels’ Messages. This year’s camp meeting featured a powerful lineup of speakers, including Conrad Vine, Ron Kelly, Jonathan Zirkle, Christian Paul, Darrio Taylor, and Andy Roman.

We left the Oregon Camp Meeting thankful for what God had done, but also knowing that the real test is what we do afterward. Going back into our churches, communities, families, and mission fields, we have to have a renewed determination to work while there is still time. I want to thank Brian Coy, Brandon Coy, Gene Cunningham, and their entire team for the tremendous sacrifice, dedication, and hard work they have put forth to make this camp meeting possible and such a wonderful blessing to everyone who attended. We all still have work to do, and may God help us now to finish it faithfully.
