District-wide baptism boosts membership in Southern Africa

On October 2, 2021, more people were baptized into the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) as the Ecclesiastical District of Southern Africa held a district-wide baptism. The baptism was held simultaneously in the local congregations of Ladybrand, Manyatseng, Thaba Nchu, Qwa-Qwa, Kestell, Cape Town, Tembisa, and Lusaka, Zambia, together with Nelspruit Group Worship Service (GWS).

The homily of Brother Sheridohn Santos, district supervising minister, from the house of worship of the Ladybrand Congregation was livestreamed to the various remote sites in the district. Preaching a Bible-based lesson, he reminded the baptismal candidates of the great importance of receiving true baptism—that which makes one a member of the Church Of Christ. As proven by the Bible, such people will receive the blessings from God, most especially, eternal life in the Holy City.
