Ohio Conference

Story by Ohio Conference Staff

Join the Ohio Conference for the third annual Bible Read Challenge during January 2023! 

Following in the footsteps of the great preacher, H.M.S. Richards, participants will journey through the scriptures during the 31 days of the first month of the year!

Reading the Bible in a month is a different type of study of the scriptures. Rather than sitting down to read your favorite author, or watching that new TV series that launched – we’ll be reading the Bible for the grand narrative of God’s story.

Another year has come to a close, and we can honestly say that God has not only been with us but has truly led and blessed the children, high school youth, young adults and adults of Ohio.

Reflecting on the year, we had quite a few “firsts.” Some firsts are returning to Camp Mohaven in Danville, Ohio, for Adventurer and Pathfinder events. Other firsts are beginning an organizational culture shift, turning “the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents” (Mal. 4:6, NIV).

Kettering College has been awarded a grant aimed at creating and implementing a comprehensive education program for community health workers in Dayton, Ohio. The funding will be effective immediately through September of 2025, awarding $1,847,399 to the university.  

Community health workers (CHWs) are grassroots health workers who live in the communities they serve. They work with their friends, families, and neighbors to bring reliable health information and services to under-resourced communities. This is especially true for communities that are predominately minorities.

El personal del Campamento Mohaven solo tuvo unos minutos para reaccionar cuando los tornados arrasaron recientemente la propiedad en Danville, Ohio.

“Gracias a la misericordia de Dios y su profesionalismo, todos los campistas, el personal y las personas que estaban en el lugar escaparon sanos y salvos”, dicen los líderes del campamento y centro de retiros de la Conferencia de Ohio.

El presidente de la Conferencia de Ohio, Bob Cundiff, agrega: “El personal de nuestro campamento de verano hizo un trabajo excelente durante esta crisis. Ejecutaron el plan de acción de emergencia del Campamento Mohaven sin problemas, apresurando a todos a un lugar seguro, a tiempo”.
