Two baptisms held in Germany; first Belarusian baptized

Among those baptized was Elizabeth Viacherskaya, the first Belarusian member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. She received her baptism in Berlin, where Brother Jason Dulalas, assistant district supervising minister, officiated at.

“When I came to Church on the first day, I just felt something special. I saw and heard how people sincerely believe, pray. I felt that God was next to them, protecting and listening to them. It was a moment that I felt how faithful people spoke and prayed, how wholeheartedly the Church members sang and how much the words of God from Bible that were preached gave them strength and guidance to walk on the right path. That’s when I decided that I, too, wanted to be a part of this Church,” said Elizabeth, as she shared her reason for joining the Church.

During the biblical homily in both baptismal gatherings, it was reiterated to the candidates for baptism the immense blessings that come with receiving the true baptism—becoming a true disciple of Christ, forgiveness of sin, and above all, salvation.

“We promise God as well as the Church Administration that we will continue to guide our fellowmen to listen to the teachings of God, so that they will also come to the knowledge of the truth, be baptized, and be counted among those who will be saved,” said Brother Catalan on behalf of the brethren in Central Europe. — With reports from Eva-Marie Krause of INC News Section
