Six Baptisms at Beytel West!

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,…” -Jesus (Matthew 28:19)

Sunday November 30th 2008 starting at around 4pm Beytel West baptized five women and one man. Pray for each of these as they continue to grow in the knowledge of and be obedient to our Lord and King. It is no little thing for Christians from a Muslim background to be baptized, this is a public declaration of their faith. Each of those who were baptized gave their testimony and publicly confessed their faith in Christ! Thank you all for your prayers and for your support and being part of this albeit from a far! Also those who are reading this letter and have not yet been baptized take an example from the Ethiopian eunuch:

And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?" And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he (Philip) baptized him. (Acts 8:36-38) And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)

“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Galatians 3:27)

“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:4)

“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” (Acts 2:41)

“But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” (Acts 8:12)

"Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. (Acts 10:47-58)

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
