<\/a>Some fifty youth, accompanied by their pastors, engaged with local residents in the town centre. This included a youth drum corps and parade, literature distribution, the engaging sounds of the youth choir and short messages of hope.<\/p>\nWim Altink, president of the Adventist Church in the Netherlands, called the camp meeting \u201ca powerhouse of God\u2019s Spirit\u201d and praised attendees for setting aside Wednesday afternoon to share their faith through music and religious literature in the town.<\/p>\n \u201cStreet witnessing is a success from God because of the contagious singing and music,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Dutch people stop, listen, and rejoice while we hand out leaflets and share words of hope.\u201d He noted that this is the fifth year that the Ghanaian Adventists have held their camp meeting within the Netherlands. \u201cI am honoured with the presence of this large group of Seventh-day Adventists in our Union,\u201d he said. \u201cI hope there will follow more [camp meetings] here.\u201d<\/p>\n One onlooker, herself an immigrant from the Dominican Republic was delighted. \u201cIt\u2019s nice,\u201d she said, \u201cIt is teaching local Dutch people something about Jesus.\u201d Currently there is no Adventist presence in the town, something that gave extra impetus to the camp meeting witness. While the camp meeting provides a place for the Ghanaian Adventist community to worship together, it equally motivates attendees through church outreach reports, said Isaac K. Donkor, an Adventist pastor and vice chairman of Euro-Ghanaian Co-ordinating Committee, which organises the meetings. Attendees share reports about their mission work in various countries and the activities of Ghanaian churches in Europe, creating a stimulus for others to return home with a new motivation for mission, Donkor said.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>This was again emphasised by Juvenal Balisasa one of the guest speakers. Focusing on Revelation 14:6 and making allusions to Acts 1:8 (you will receive power), John 10:16 (the other sheep), and Roman 10:14-15 (how will they hear without preaching?), he encouraged participants that far beyond the witness in this small Dutch town, they \u201cshould now be ready to turn Europe upside down.\u201d<\/p>\n
