Seven baptized in water yesterday morning

Postby Phil Hoover » April 12th, 2010, 1:47 am

It was a glorious experience to watch my pastor baptize seven believers yesterday morning. Even more glorious (to me, at least) was the fact that three of these precious saints are recent converts from Islam.

Praising God today.

Phil,

There is atremendous crack in the wall of Islam. We are seeing hundreds and hundreds come to Christ. The Church has bought a decietful lie of the enemy that these precious people are to hardened to receive the gospel.

It is estimated that only about 6% of Muslims are hardened Jihad'ist. Unfortunatly this small percent are funded by Saudi oil money, and they have influence and controll over Al Jeezer Media, radical Mosque and control governments by fear and terrisom. I will be in Pakistan next month and the number of converts form Islam to Christianity (Jesus) there is mind blowing.

I rejoice with you for ALL those who were baptized.

Awesome Guys. Are we not extremely happy that God's Amazing Grace extends to everyone freely ( as it did for us ).

Fantastic.

and we have a very active "outreach to Muslims" here at The Moody Church.

I watched the North Carolina State Convention online last summer, and vividly remember Cathy Payne's powerful story about going to Pakistan, and what the LORD was doing in the meetings there.

Praise God...PRAISE HIM!

Phil, we had five baptized at New Life yesterday - two mature men (60 or older), one teen, and two children. BTW, it was good to have you with us on Easter!

was all mine, Pastor RonB. I was thrilled and delighted to be with some of the dearest people on this earth for a few days. Twenty years is MUCH too long of an absence. I'm not sure when I'll get back over your way, but I hope it is soon.

You have a gorgeous building, some wonderful saints of God in your congregation, and a WONDERFUL FAMILY of GOD right there.

Thanks for letting me be with you all on Easter....
