We are happy to report about another water baptismal service that the church had on April 29. Brother Peter and sisters Tatiana, Vera, Eleonora and Nataly were baptized in water. All of them had received Jesus and can testify of the good work God has started in them.

Sister Vera is mother of our brother Justin Stelmakh, who has been a church member for several years. Since January she has faithfully attended all the church services, not only on Sundays but on weekdays too. Two months ago she joined ORTA group to study the Bible. Brother Peter , who repented at the Sunday service about a month ago, is sharing Jesus with all his friends and relatives. Couple days before his baptism he had brought his friend Alexey to the church house, and he received Jesus too. Peter says he has invited many of his friends to come to church next Sunday. Sister Eleonora testified that she was to have gone to Moscow but God had changed her plans and brought her to the baptismal service instead. She even chose to return her airplane ticket to the booking office for the sake of being baptized. Sister Nataly had had a sleepless night because she was so excited.

Brother Edward Korin graciously allowed us again to use the sauna with the swimming pool that he owns. As we gathered there, we worshiped together, and then Pastor Slava shared the Word and prayed for those who were going to be baptized. It was obvious that as they were receiving the holy baptism, God really touched their hearts and they rose from the water as truly new creations filled with the Holy Spirit. All those who attended the service were
rejoicing together with them.

After the baptism was performed, those who received it were given Bibles and special post-cards as a gift. The service was followed by a tea party.

On Sunday, April 30, all the congregation greeted those baptized, prayed for them and rejoiced with them.
