Baptism and midweek Bible Study at the church building

Milady's co-worker was baptized! I had mentioned Milady in the April report as one of the few members who can and does personal Bible study. Milady asked Roxana and I to give her coworker one last Bible study, then I proceeded to baptize her. She is a call center agent. She lives in Santo Domingo, another town near Heredia, on a secondary road towards San José. We need to pray that in the near future, she and her family will be the seed of the church in that town. According to our philosophy of missions, new churches must be started with first fruits. This lady is the first fruit of Santo Domingo, although right now she is attending the Heredia church.

There were 21 attending the Midweek Bible Study. There were 13 adults, 1 teenager, 3 children, and 4 visits. We covered Romans 8.15-18. Other passages studied were Isaiah 6.1-7, Psalms 32, and 1 John 1.5—2.1 The main point was that we are adopted children of a God who is awesomely holy. We need to understand that God has made it possible for us to be adopted by taking away our sins. However, for us to be cleansed, we need to walk in the light, in other words, to confess that we do sin.
