On the 28th of April 7 people from our church made a covenant with God by means of water baptism. Alexander Skrypak a Pastor of “Almaz” church started this joyful event with a sermon on the 6th Chapter from the Epistle to the Romans. In this way he reminded to those who came to be baptized and to everyone else of the meaning of water baptism which is the symbol of our immersion into Jesus Christ.
There were also some unbeliever relatives of those who got to be baptized. The baptism ceremony was led by another “Almaz” church Pastor – Nikolay Skopych. The next day all 7 of those who got baptized were announced as new church members on a Sunday service. There were announced also 3 other people who decided to become “Almaz” church members that joined them.
It never fails to amaze as our Lord again and again adds to the church those that were saved. It’s very moving to see as people that just recently lived in rebellion against God now confess their faith in Jesus Christ, show total commitment to Him and a desire to follow Him till the rest of their lives. Be the Glory to Him for all of it!
It is important to note that all who are baptized are children ofunbelieving parents.
ReplyDeleteOne girl from Belarus, came to God through our ministry in Belarus.
One girl came to church with thoughts of suicide.
Today we are preparing another 14 people to a new baptism, and one young man through internet using Skype. His name isAnton, he lives in Italy, he believed in the past year listening toour sermons from the site of our church, found us and asked totake care of it, as in Italy where he lives is not a church like ours.
Pray for them!
