Baptism's Upon Baptism's at LBC


This is Hazgail (pronounced Ezekiel) Komi from Sudan, Africa. He was one of my converts from a few Thursday nights ago. He and his wife were two of four baptisms Sunday morning. The overall Sunday morning crowd was a little down with only 113 people in attendance. However, we had a great week overall. We had a good crowd of 52 last Wednesday night with two being saved and one baptized. Also, this past Sunday night we had 62 and one saved and baptized. God has blessed us greatly this year, by allowing us to baptize 77 people so far this year.
The spirit at every service was great this past week, especially Sunday morning, while I preached the message "Five Ways to Open the Windows of Heaven." Can you guess one of the ways? You guessed it, baptism! The windows of Heaven open when someone gets baptized!
God has been blessing our soul winning attendance also, with a new record this past Thursday of 29 soul winners out soul winning. God has given us a vision to reach our community that He has placed us in. In our neighborhood that includes people from every corner of the globe as our city is the 14th largest refugee resettlement area in the United States. I realize that God loves these refugees and they also have great value. In our church we have on a bad Sunday at least ten different languages that could be spoken. Last Thursday night among our soul winners we had the ability to speak not only English, but Spanish, Arabic, French, Dinka, and Swahili. Gotta love a soul winning church!
