Today marks the final day of the delegation session. As every morning, the delegates gathered in united prayer, seeking God’s guidance for the day’s proceedings. Following this, Brother Boris delivered the morning worship message, emphasizing the immense power found in Christ’s sacrifice for humanity.

After breakfast, the session resumed promptly at 8:30 AM. Before business began, Brother David Zic addressed the assembly with a heartfelt appeal: camp meetings should not be held solely for church members but also as outreach efforts for those unfamiliar with the Gospel. He cited Ellen White’s counsel on the importance of camp meetings, especially as the return of Jesus draws near.

In a touching moment, Brother David Zic invited the kitchen staff forward, recognizing their dedication and tireless service. Shortly after, the sisters from Colombia presented the delegates with thoughtful souvenirs to take home.

The Nominating Committee then introduced candidates for the Youth Department leadership. Brother Daniel Balbach was elected as the new Youth Department Director. The session continued with discussions on various bylaws and doctrinal evaluations.

A significant milestone was reached with the establishment of the Music Department. Previously a subcommittee, it is now a fully recognized department. Brother Aarón Quispe was appointed as the Music Department leader.

The session proceeded with additional elections: the General Conference (GC) Council was selected, followed by the appointment of Rudolfo Gessner as the RHPA Director. A proposal from the bylaws committee led to the creation of the Media and Communication Committee.

As the session neared its conclusion, Brother David Zic reflected on the experience, noting the visible evidence of God’s presence among the delegates. “All those chosen are chosen by God,” he reminded them, urging everyone to commit their work to the Lord. “Will we dedicate everything to Him for His honor and glory?”

The teams that played vital roles throughout the session—cleaning, media, translators, bakery, and laundry—were publicly acknowledged and thanked for their dedication and hard work.

To close the session, the General Conference President Eli Tenorio delivered a powerful message on trusting God. He reminded the delegates that no matter how dark or uncertain the path may seem, we must always place our trust in God.
