Have you ever wondered how the last days will be? Have you asked if you would be prepared if we lost access to some of our basic amenities in the city? (i.e. running water, electricity, transportation, etc.) How would you and your family survive? 

The "Be Ready Summit" is designed to train families and individuals on the basic disaster survival and country living skills. We will cover topics on radio communication, rainwater harvesting, canning and food preservation, growing your own food, and back packing to name a few of the workshops. Our well experienced presenters and staff are excited to see you there.

Who should attend: 

• Anyone who wants to prepare for last days or learn how to live off the grid
• Adventist Community Service teams
• Pathfinder and Master Guides
• Health Ministry teams
• Open to the public
