On the
last Sabbath of the evangelistic series, 65 precious people
publicly stated, through baptism, that they wanted to serve the
Lord.
It was
a blessing to see the many church members and friends who came to
witness the baptisms. Those who were baptized had a lot of support on
their special day!
As the
baptism candidates signed their baptism certificates, they seemed to
be in much thought. It was wonderful to see how seriously they took this step in
their lives.
The highlight of the mission experience was seeing these new friends,
one after another, bury their old selves under the water and come up
into a new life in Jesus.
We felt privileged of knowing that God had been able to work through
us, as well as the Filipino Bible workers and church members who had worked
months before our mission team arrived.
Pastor
Diesta performed the baptisms. He spent a few moments speaking to each
person before their baptism.
