Earlier this month, Adventists in the city of Blagoveshchensk, in the Amur Region of Russia, held a Health Camp, inviting friends, as well as visitors who previously attended a health exhibition held in the city during the summer of 2017.
During the Christmas and New Year holiday, Adventists in Blagoveshchensk noticed many people had time on their hands, so they decided to host a Health Camp in the city. The same camp was held in November, and the program was received with enthusiasm by visitors. “I wanted to invite people to the event,” said one of the organizers. “We asked other Adventists in the community to invite their friends to participate in the camp. Within one week we had 10 visitors.”
Classes in physiotherapy exercises, back massage and skin care procedures brought relief to people and taught them to take care of their health.
