Grandfather<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks ago, the church family took a walk down to\nthe river to witness and celebrate the baptism of five believers, four\nteenagers and one grandfather.  Of these\nfive, two are sisters, another two are granddaughter and grandfather and the\nfifth is the fifth sister to be baptized.  Three of these teenagers will be able to grow\nin the Lord, knowing that their parents share the same faith as they.  The other teenager is almost forbidden to\ntalk to her mom about the Bible and her faith. \nHowever, the good news for her is that her four older sisters are\nbelievers and have already been baptized. \nEach of these is a shining testimony of God working through the\nbelievers to reach more of their family for Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Five<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each one has their own story. \u00a0Please let us share the grandfather\u2019s story with you.\u00a0 He said he believed in Jesus years ago when we held a Bible study in his house.\u00a0 However, his wife remained faithful to the village church and didn\u2019t believe.\u00a0 As a result, the grandfather did not attend Faith Bible Church.\u00a0 Sadly, his wife died about eight months ago.\u00a0 Shortly after that, he began faithfully attending church and expressed his faith in Christ as His Savior.\u00a0 While we are sad that the mother-in-law did not believe, we are thankful for this new brother in Christ who is learning and growing in the Lord.\u00a0 And he is in good company \u2013 his son-in-law and daughter are strong believers, and his granddaughter was baptized on the same day as he was.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please pray for these five that they will grow as they share with others their faith.\u00a0 Please pray also for the other members of Faith Bible Church, that they will encourage these five, be good examples for them, and continue to share their faith with others.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
