SDA camporee a huge success
The Inter-American Division (IAD) of Seventh-day Adventists’s Fifth IAD Pathfinders Camporee ended recently and from all indications the five-day event was a huge success.
Hundreds of Pathfinders from more than 52 countries participated in the event held at the Trelawny Multipurpose Stadium, a first for Jamaica and the Seventh-day Adventist Church here, as well as the island in general, received high praises for its organisation and management.
Here are photo highlights:
