Camp Mohaven is more than a beautiful nature retreat center. As 2022 has unfolded, this scenic 700 acre plot of land nestled in the geographic heart of the state has become the Ohio Conference’s largest resource for evangelistic ministry.
The Ohio Conference's 2023 Initiative to reach 2,023 baptisms by the year 2023 has become more than a number or catchy rallying cry across the Ohio Conference. Mohaven ministry leaders, inspired by this challenge, spent last year’s camp offseason reimagining what evangelism could look like at the camp.
Summer 2022 at Mohaven began with the first ever Welcome to the Family Retreat. The conference hosted this free event, inviting newly baptized Seventh-day Adventists from across the territory to gather at camp to meet their new Adventist church community. For the majority, this was their first visit to Mohaven and first time meeting the conference leadership team. That weekend, there were even 2 new baptisms with members from the Worthington Adventist church. The energy in the air was incredible, as new members welcomed newer believers into the family of God!
