MSC's first water baptism
2 May 2011 marked another historical moment in the life of MSC. We had our inaugural baptismal service where 20 candidates were water baptised. Amongst them were people of three nationalities: Malaysian, Nepalese and mainland Chinese. Praise God for that - surely, there will be more to come! We rejoice as this is the fruit of people getting saved, walking in Christ's command and following after His ways.
We heard testimonies from four of the baptismal candidates and they shared about the difference Christ has made in each of their lives. One lady talked about how the Lord granted her peace in the night and that she was now able to have a good night's rest, while in the past she would be laden with worries and fears about everything she could have thought of; whether finances, her family's well being, her son's upbringing, etc. Another candidate talked about how it would not have mattered had he just died in his young life, as he came from a broken home and there was no harmony nor unity there. In these four years that he had walked with Christ, his own life has really turned around for the better; no more troubled, sleepless nights nor tormenting headaches but a life of purpose, peace and power of God.
This event has indeed also blessed all those who attended the baptismal service. God is real and He is still in the business of changing and empowering lives today; healing us from our past, guiding us in our present and opening up for us a wonderful future. We pray to God for more harvest of souls....keep up this momentum of seeing lives saved.
