CAMP MEETING 2017 June 22 - July 2 P romises CAMP MEETING 2017 June 22 - July 2 P CAMPERS EDITION June 22, 2017 To my Allegheny East Conference Family and Friends the World Over, What a great joy it is to welcome you to our 50th Anniversary as a conference, birthed by the great Allegheny Conference in 1967, along with our twin sister, the Allegheny West Confer- ence. The growth and influence of this conference has been phenomenal. Fifty years ago, after overcoming the venerable "Three Sisters" of Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda, we stepped out on the promise made by God, that He would be with us and moved forward year after year, under the banner of the Holy Spirit and the successive administrative leadership of William A. Thompson, Edward Dorsey, Luther R. Palmer, Jr., Meade C. Van Putten, Sr., Alvin Kibble, and Charles L. Cheatham, to arrive at where we are today, 170 churches and companies and nearly 40,000 members. As you walk these hallowed grounds, remember the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob promised to give their inheritance a land wherein they could dwell, and, promised to bless them. Today, as you stroll these grounds and enjoy the aura of God's presence, you must realize that we, today, are standing on the same promises that God gave His children years ago. This is His land, given to us to use until He comes. Therefore, we have chosen as our theme, and may I say, our creed, for this encampment, "Standing on the Promises!" Were it not for God, where would we be, what would we have accomplished? We held on to the promises and we hold on to the promises, because soon and very soon, He, who made the promise to come again, will come and will not tarry. My prayer is that each of us will hold on to Him until that day. God bless you and keep you! Yours, in His Service Henry J.

We congratulate you for all you have accomplished by God's grace. The work that has been entrusted to you is of the utmost importance: "...to cooperate with God and Christ for the saving of souls, " (CS p. 85) show- ing the world the great interest God has for mankind. Continue with the beautiful mission- driven focus you have as you build on your relationship with Christ, study the precious Word of God, and contemplate His messages through the Spirit of Prophecy. We must nev- er neglect the sacred duties of bringing to mind the Lord's leadings in the past and of sharing the Advent message in our homes, communities, towns, and territory. Confidence in God's past leadings will keep us in His will, taking us safely into the future. All heaven rejoices with you for persevering on your journey to this point and for celebrating Christ's salvific love. "One soul saved from error, and brought under the banner of Christ, will cause joy in heaven ...A soul saved will, through his godly influence, bring other souls to a knowledge of salvation, and thus the work will multiply, and only the revealings of the day of judgment will make manifest the extent of the work." (CChp. 189) Our generation has the great privilege of serving the Lord at this crucial time in earth's history. We are witnesses to the unfolding of the Great Controversy theme as it comes to a climax. God will continue to bless the many congrega- tions represented in your conference as you continue to know God and His tremendous love more deeply. Let us humbly submit ourselves to Christ and prayerfully plead for the Holy Spirit's influence so that we may prepare a peo- ple for the Lord's soon return. God will never leave us and will guide us unfailingly. His promise in Matthew 28:20 "...surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" is sure and we can depend on Him. During your 50th Anniversary celebrations, you will be looking back to acknowledge the marvelous way the Lord has led His Church, and you will also be looking forward to God's proclamations of hope and promise. God has blessed the success of your programs, and the world church is grateful for the members, churches, institutions, workers, and leaders of the Allegheny East Conference and all that each one of you has done to advance God's work. We praise God for what He is doing for you and through you! May God continue to bless your powerful Conference as together we look forward to Christ's soon return.

    Brooks, Charles Decatur (1930–2016) BENJAMIN BAKER Benjamin Baker, Ph.D. (Howard University, Washington, D.C.) is the author/editor of seven books and 150 articles and is the creator of two websites on Adventist history. He has taught history, religion, education, literature, and English at eight universities. Charles Decatur Brooks (universally known as “C. D. Brooks”) was one of the most successful evangelists of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and as speaker- director of Breath of Life Ministries for twenty-three years was a trailblazer of religious media. Early Life Charles Decatur (C. D.) Brooks was born in Morehead Township, just outside of Greensboro, North Carolina, on July 24, 1930, to Marvin Bishop Brooks and Mattie (née Reives) Brooks (1886-1967; 1889-1959).1 Marvin and Mattie Brooks would have sixteen children in all, ten girls and six boys, four of whom died before C. D. was born. The Brooks earned a livelihood by farming their 40-acre property in Morehead, cultivating a C. D. Brooks 2 variety of crops and raising livestock and poultry.

Methodists at the time, began observing the seventh- day Sabbath in honor of a pledge Mattie Brooks had made to God while in a hospital bed suffering from a near-fatal illness. The family observed the Sabbath and read The Great Controversy for years without knowing of the existence of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Finally, in 1940 the family took Bible studies with Napoleon Smith, pastor of the black Seventh-day Adventist church in Greensboro, and C.

We may be at the end of February, but there’s still time to celebrate Black History Month. Scientific contributions, literature and the arts, social justice informed by faith--the contributions of African Americans to the U.S. have been central and significant. Black History Month is not a novelty where historical facts are read, and pictures of black celebrities are temporarily displayed. It is a recognition of the struggles, achievements and the ongoing contributions of African Americans to American life and culture. We are challenged to continue overcoming the barriers and injustices that persists; and through a deep and abiding faith in God, to pursue a society where love of Christ is manifest and liberty and justice for all prevails.

Numbered among Ephesus' sons and daughters are outstanding preachers (local, union, and general conference leaders), educators (church school teachers, college professors, college presidents), attorneys, doctors, nurses, business leaders, contractors, musicians, community leaders and good citizens.
