Baptism in the River

Baptism brings such joy!

Yesterday we went to Tokaj, about an hour and a half from Debrecen, to witness the baptism of eight new believers from Ibrány and Tomor. These folks are special to us since both groups are the result of INSTE students acting out their faith. The church in Ibrány was started and is led by INSTE First Level graduates. The people saved in Tomor were brought to Christ through the testimony of another of our INSTE graduates.

The baptism was held at a beach on the Tisza River where the Open Bible Churches are conducting a week of youth camp. Right next to us was a team from the Nyiregyháza Fire Department that was practicing river search and rescue! They were respectful and did not disturb the service, but it made for some funny comments at the time.

Saturday will be a second baptismal service for new converts from Nyiregyhaza and Debrecen. Praise the Lord for those coming into the Kingdom of God! And praise the Lord for INSTE's part in fulfilling the Great Commission!
