A health exhibition took place from May 3 to 5, 2024, in Ribalta Park, Castellón de la Plana, a city in Spain. The event was organized and coordinated by the Romanian Adventist Church of Lepanto, under the leadership of its pastor, Laurentiu Druga. The Department of Health and the Departments of Diakonia, Youth, and Explorers were involved in the organization of the event.

Highlights included the presence of Javier Moliner, representative of the Spanish Union, delegates from the Castellón City Council, and the Interreligious Table.

A.D.E.L.A.N.T.E.

The first day of the event marked its inauguration, where eight stands were displayed under the acronym A.D.E.L.A.N.T.E. (move forward). Each letter represented a vital remedy for well-being: Aire (Air), Descanso (Rest), Ejercicio (Exercise), Sol (Sun), Alimentación (Nutrition), Agua (Water), Templanza (Temperance), and Espiritualidad (Spirituality).

These booths, staffed by highly trained volunteers and health professionals, offered detailed information and hands-on activities, promoting a healthy lifestyle and the Adventist health message.

More than 250 books and 300 magazines were offered to encourage continuous learning, inspire comprehensive well-being, and promote a wholistic lifestyle for all attendees.

The region's Pathfinders organized many activities for children that attended, and they also brought crafts and special surprises. Each child explored their artistic side while creating special gifts for Mother's Day. Many express they had a great time laughing, strengthening ties, and creating lasting memories. 

“We want to express our deepest gratitude to each person who made this wonderful event possible,” said Pastor Druga. “From church members who spent hours setting up and taking down tents, to youth and Pathfinders, and all those who offered their time and wisdom at the stands, we hope that all the efforts may bear good fruits.”
