2012 HIS Baptism

A few years back, it occurred to a few of us in the youth ministries area at HIS, that some of our students might not have access to be baptized. While they would have chosen Christ as Savior, due to various circumstances they might not have been able to go to church or be baptized. So we offered this ministry to them, and 14 participated. It was a wonderful time and blessed testimony for so many! 


So this year, we offered it again, for grades 4-12. There were 11 students who participated this time, and seeing evidence of Jesus' work in their lives meant so much. Josh, a WGM missionary and our school chaplain, had offered baptism classes ahead of time, and each student provided a testimony of how they met Christ as well as a brief statement of why they wanted to be baptized.

The entire school came out to watch the ceremony, and I believe the activities spoke to a lot more hearts. We are so thankful to be seeing how God is working in the lives of our students and their families.
