Camp Meeting Goers Step out for god in Gladstone

uly 15 through 19 found “the campgrounds” in Gladstone, Ore. buzzing with the 84th year of Gladstone Camp Meeting.

The week started out warm actually it was just plain hot– especially for us Northwesterners, who start to feel the heat when the temps rise above 80F. With temperatures in the mid 90s, reminders went out to stay hydrated and to watch for symptoms of heat-relat-
In the Children’s Amphitheater, the water slide was a popular attraction, as were the misters set up to provide a cooling mist for whoever walked near them. The Snack Shack did rousing business in ice cream, sorbet, smoothies, snow cones, and everything cold. The Juniors, Earliteens, and Youth enjoyed trips to the nearby aquatic park. c o n t i n u e d o n pa g e

are from Portland, Ore., and they attend Hood View Adventist Church. Anderson practices medicine at Portland Adventist Medical Center. Anderson felt lucky to perform some surgeries that had never been done in Majuro. The orthopedic team did four uni-compartmental knee replacements and one ACL reconstruction—the first of their kinds at the hospital.

Tuesday evening’s first adult meeting started with a bang as Plaza Pavilion speaker, David Asscherick, took to the stage, blessing those listening and watching with his energy and frankness as he spoke about The Covenant God. The crowds grew as the week wore on, with many of the children’s divisions reporting higher than usual numbers. In the Earliteen division, those at the Friday evening program were invited to dedicate their lives to God. More than 70 earliteens stepped forward and wrote their names on the Wall of Remembrance! Over in the Sandpiper building, the 7- and 8-year-olds made pillows for refugees in South Sudan, and under cover of the One-Day Church building, the annual Used Book Sale sold over 1,600-inches of used books with proceeds going to Portland Adventist Community Services (PACS). There also was something rather unusual that happened on campus this year. We seemed to have a dramatic increase in baldness that got more prominent as the week wore on! Age was no discriminator, as both young and old, male and female appeared to have lost their hair during camp meeting. It turns out that these dedicated souls lost their hair for a very important and special reason. They lost it voluntarily in support of one of our own Oregon Conference pastors. You see, pastor Nick Jones wasn’t at camp meeting this year. He spent his camp meeting week in chemotherapy for six hours a day! Pastor Nick has cancer and is facing it head-on, so others decided to show their support by shaving their heads too. By last count, more than 40 people shaved their heads to show Pastor Nick their support! So many people celebrated this year’s theme in special ways, whether dedicating their lives to God for the first time or renewing their past commitment; showing support for a friend in need, or giving someone a cold drink, each presented themselves and said, “Here am I!” We hope each of you will do the same throughout this year and that we’ll see you again, or maybe for the first time, at Gladstone Camp Meeting next year!

anvasback Missions, Inc. sent three medical specialty teams to Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) in May and June 2014. The orthopedic surgery team arrived May 24. Two separate dental teams followed, arriving May 31 and June 14.
After the team left, Robert Wells, MD, stayed a few extra days to make sure all post-op patients were infection-free until discharge. Wells, an orthopedic surgeon from Portland, Ore., has been working with Canvasback for decades and has been invaluable to the mission. His wife Susan Wells and grandson Jakob Voorhies accomThe orthopedic team consisted of three orthopedic surgeons, panied him on this mission, working in the clinic and at two operating room nurses, two recovery nurses, a physical Canvasback’s Wellness Center. therapist, a clinic coordinator, a biomedical technician, and three clinic office assistants.

One: to reverse the epidemic of Richard Henderson, MD, the orthopedic surgeon who assembled the team, recognizes the value of orthopedic care in the RMI. “The resources in Majuro are pretty limited,” said Henderson. “The needs are huge.” He saw patients who had lived with joint problems for years, which had limited their mobility and productivity. This is Henderson’s fifth medical mission to the islands. He worked once with Canvasback in Yap, Federated States of Micronesia and three times in Ebeye, RMI. A “humble bone mechanic,” as he refers to himself, from Walla Walla, Washington, he practices at Providence St. Mary Medical Center and Walla Walla General Hospital. His wife, Kay Henderson, MD, triaged and counseled patients at the Majuro clinic. Running clinics on weekdays from May 26-June 5, the Canvasback orthopedic team examined 323 patients and performed 34 surgeries, including 12 total or partial knee replacements and a hip replacement. The value of services provided is modestly calculated to be $877,660. In order to see and treat so many people, the team worked long hours. Henderson said, “It was certainly a challenging trip.” “It was hard work,” said John Anderson, MD, “but it was very rewarding.” This was Anderson’s first trip with Canvasback. Accompanying him to Majuro were his wife Jeanette and son and daughter. While Dr. Anderson operated on orthopedic cases, his family helped in the clinic during the morning, and ran community children’s programs in the afternoon. The Andersons

Although Canvasback’s work is largely medical, all are welcome to be a part of the mission. “I think there’s a role for everyone,” said Anderson. “You don’t have to have medical training to contribute. It really gives perspective on the world and causes you to grow. Just because you’re not a surgeon doesn’t mean you can’t come out and help.” Henderson has similar sentiments: “It’s a way in which you can combine service to individuals, service to humanity as a whole, and adventure. It’s quite a unique opportunity.” It’s also important to note that Canvasback works with volunteers from all over—not just the Pacific Northwest. For some reason, though, there does seem to be a lot of talent in that area. All three orthopedists look forward to joining Canvasback on future missions to the Marshall Islands or to the Federated States of Micronesia.

Nicked for Nick

More than 40 people were "Nicked for Nick” at Gladstone Camp Meeting in July. Pastor Nick Jones (Gateway Adventist Church, and SonRise Outreach Company) missed out on Camp Meeting this year because he spent the week fighting cancer with chemotherapy treatments. Many of the pastors, volunteers, staff, and others who were at camp meeting decided to show Pastor Nick that they missed and supported him so they shaved their heads too!

What Happened at Camp Meeting?

When the seating inside the Plaza Pavilion was full, the crowds spilled out into the seating areas around the outside edges of the "Big Tent" to hear speaker David Asscherick.
The Plaza Pavilion programs were translated into multiple languages by dedicated volunteers and staff.
“Ten years ago, this would have been easy,” says Pastor Roger Walter (Adventist Community Church of Vancouver), “because I would have known it would grow back. Now, I’m not so sure” – but he shaved his head anyway!

In the Youth and Earliteen tents, the speakers, staff, and volunteers interacted and ministered to the kids in attendance. In the Earliteen division on Friday night, the attendees were challenged to dedicate their lives to God. More than 70 earliteens came forward to write their names on the Wall of Rememberance.
Watch the video that was made for Pastor Nick of the project on YouTube at http://bit.ly/Ud0ML7. You can also read Pastor Nick's blog at www.pastornick.com. And of course, please keep him in your prayers!

In addition to the waterslide near the Children's Amphitheater, the Portland Adventist Community Services (PACS) Book Sale, the Dorcas Boutique, and many other events and activities, the annual Fun Run/Walk was enjoyed by families and friends (both old and new.) And then there was the Cave Trailer! The Cave Trailer was a project designed and built by some of the Oregon Pathfinder leaders. It was tested out by the Juniors at camp meeting, and now it's headed for the International Pathfinder Camporee in Oshkosh this month!

s I write these words, I look out my office window at a quiet scene. The buzz of people is gone, the large white pavilion and division tents have been taken down, the Adventist Book Center no longer has piles of books outside waiting for signatures and purchases, and a skeleton crew at the office continues to provide ministry while the others enjoy much needed breaks. It could almost be discouraging if it were not for the memories of Gladstone Camp Meeting and the excitement of just a few weeks ago.
decisions to follow Jesus for the first time at camp. I also remember that there are groups of youth going door to door, making personal contact with people in our cities as they spread God’s word and love through the sale of inspiring books. Members and pastors have gone home with a new understanding of what it means to say “Here Am I.” Members in Minstry is becoming a reality in every corner of our conference as we all respond to the vision and gifts God has placed in our individual hearts. Big plans are becoming reality as churches join together in proclaiming the beautiful message of a loving God who wants them forever as His and pastors family. God’s work is active and strong among His people here in the Oregon Conference.

Suddenly, my mind shifts. I see that the same energy and excitement that was here at camp meeting just a short time ago is apparent all throughout our conference during the rest of the year. This summer is no exception. This week there are over 800 Pathfinders from our conference packing up and traveling to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to attend the International Pathfinder Camporee. At Big Lake Youth Camp, thousands of young people are having the experience of a life-time, learning to play, work, and worship together, and many of them will make

The paintings that helped build the reputation of the books come across in brilliant detail on iPad Retina displays. The app will read the story to preschoolers, allowing them to follow the highlighted words. Or children can turn off the narration and read to themselves. An introductory price of $1.99 is available until August 31 at the iTunes store. Learn more at http://bit.ly/1lBlhZv.
A New Approach for Stop Smoking Program
A new initiative updates the Adventist approach for stop-smoking programs. The new Breathe-Free 2 program bases its hopes for success on a combination of scientific research, an open-source website, and the personal relationships that participants develop as they take the course. Daniel Handysides, Loma Linda University associate professor of health and program developer, introduced the new initiative to more than 1,100 Adventist leaders and health professionals at July's Global Conference on Health and Lifestyle in Geneva, Switzerland. Organized by the world church’s health ministries department, the conference’s ultimate goal is to inspire community health centers with programs offering a blend of physical and spiritual wellness in every Adventist church.

The Hideout Film Screens in Portland Area
During the recent End It Now program to raise awareness on issues of sexual abuse, a short film was screened titled The Hideout. Centered around the story of Holly, a grade school student, the film tells her story of abuse and struggle to share what happened with her mother. While the filmmakers plan to make it widely available this year, Northwest members have an opportunity to see it at two different film festivals in the Portland, Ore., area in August. The Gleaner recently talked with Daniel Wahlen, writer and director, about his motivation for the project and how we can raise awareness about abuse.
