Some 500 attended this year's Camp AGAPE at UC Santa Barbara.

Milal Mission shared in fellowship once again with brothers and sisters with developmental disabilities during 'Camp AGAPE.'

Branches in Southern California, Northern California, Seattle, and Vancouver come together each year to host this service camp.

This year's 17th annual camp took place at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from June 25 to 27, with the theme, "You are the light of the world! Let's see the world!" Some 500, including those with disabilities, attended.

A feet-washing ceremony took place during the first day of the camp, a tradition that has been continued since 2013.

"As the volunteers personally washed the feet of those who with disabilities, they all experienced Christ's love and brought them together in unity," said one of the organizers of Milal Mission.

The second day featured a program titled, 'World Travel,' during which attendees were able to experience the cultures of different countries, including Africa, China, Mexico, Korea, and America.
