November 2024 Baptism Sunday marks a significant breakthrough for Oamaru Baptist. Two years ago, many thought the Baptist church would not survive and cease to exist.
It was “keeling” in every aspect, and many had “abandoned the ship.”
Despite the small number who stayed behind, God answered their prayers for divine intervention, igniting a flourishing revival even today. As of November 17, our attendance list includes 85 people, comprising both adults and children.
We are here today two years later, baptising two first-generation and three second-generation believers.
We thank the Lord God Almighty for five new Baptists on Sunday, November 17, at 9:00 a.m.
Thank you to all the Baptist whฤnau, church mates, and friends who came to witness and support the baptism ceremonies held at the Waitaki Aquatic Centre. Your presence truly enriches our faith journey.
Let us continue to pray for Marie, Rodney, Nico, Nolan, Juscar, and each other as we (OBC) journey and grow in faith and obedience to God. Amen!
We continue to pray for more baptism opportunities as we obey the Lord Jesus Christ’s commission to go and make disciples, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything Jesus Christ has commanded us to do.
To God be all the glory! Amen.
