A Spiritual Birthday for Twelve Students
Posted on May 1, 2012 by BrendaS in Uncategorized.April 28, 2012, was a special day for all of us, but especially for those being baptized. Thara Joh Koh (Harvey Steck) had spent at least 5 months preparing the candidates for baptism. Subjects like Bible prophecy, Bible doctrines and life style were all covered. He also explained what baptism is all about. Burying self and the world in the water and coming up to a new life in Christ, to serve Him forever. God is so good. This is the main reason why we are here. To plant the seeds of Bible Truth in these Buddhist students and pray and pray that they will someday soon accept Him as their Savior. Here are some pictures of our first fruits:
Sabbath, April 28, was the day. Pastor Shem gave the sermon, and then he gave an appeal to the soon-to-be baptized students.
Here, on the beautiful shore of the Moei River, all the staff and students gather to celebrate the baptisms.
Before the students were baptized, Harvey and his translator read their favorite text from the Bible. Texts like Ps. 27:10, Ps, 27:1, Is. 38:17, Rom. 6:6, Ps, 119:25, Ps, 119:127, Rom. 6:4, Rom. 6:12, Ps, 119:112, Ps, 85:8, Rev. 3:10, Ps. 27:1.
Three boys were baptized...
...and nine girls were baptized. Praise the Lord!
We each gave them a hug and congratulations for entering into the family of God! May each one of these students become workers for God and bring more souls into His Kingdom! May God be praised!
