On January 28, 2023, the baptism that the Ecclesiastical District of Agusan Del Norte hosted simultaneously at the houses of worship of Butuan City Congregation and Cabadbaran Congregation added more converts into the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
Brother Ruel Zapata, district supervising minister, and Brother Wilfredo Sumang, assistant district supervising minister, officiated at the said venues, respectively.
In the study of God’s words prior to the baptism proper, the officiating ministers highlighted to the candidates for baptism the importance of obeying all the commandments of God to ensure salvation.
“Because of the brethren’s eagerness to take part in the propagation work of the Church, the district continues reaping positive results, thus many converts being added to the Church. They understand fully well that their efforts are not in vain, which is why they are even more inspired to give more time, among other sacrifices, to make known God’s words about salvation on Judgment Day to more people,” said Brother Allan Avila, the district Light Of Salvation (LOS) overseer.
