Water Baptism II

July 21, 2013

Praise the Lord for the wonderful weather.

It was not hot, breezy and without direct sunlight.

Over 100 of us went to support the 33 brothers and sisters from different districts who were baptized in unity as a family.

Brother Jack led the opening prayer, Brother Chi Ho and SD3 brothers and sisters led the congregation into high spirit of praising the Lord.

Pastor Gavin explained meaning and importance of water baptism with the example of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea getting out of Egypt.

Reminding all of us that there is no return, forgetting what is behind and move forward with our new self together with Christ, and keep experiencing His love, blessing and guidance. He asked two question of reaffirm those taking Baptism: One was whether they believed Jesus Christ is their Lord? And other was whether they had made their decision to follow Jesus Christ for the rest of their lives.

And all said yes.

After that, they were invited to stand and that the whole congregation laid hands and prayed for them. Certificates were presented to them before going into the water. Praise and worship team continued to praise the Lord during the baptism, and many brothers and sisters went down to the beach to support and take photos. Everything was smooth and all attended were joyful.

Praise the Lord for all the new creations in the Lord !
