The service on the morning of Sept 7, 2008 was packed. Many visitors
came for the baptism of 12 believers. |
 |
After the special music and preaching the service moved outside for the
baptism. Though it looks like a smaller crowd, no one left. I just
couldn't get everyone in the shot. |
 |
Youth Pastor Mihai Czentye did the honors. Here is Rebi Ciuciu. Rebi is
one of Briana's best friends and is the daughter of one of the deacons. |
 |
Paul Beltechi was next. He is the son of Pastor Peter Beltechi and his
wife Ella. |
 |
Sam and Briana were next. All the young people baptized gave clear
testimonies of being saved and they understand that baptism does nothing
towards one's salvation. |
 |
The Lord blessed several years ago with the funds to purchase this
baptistery. |
 |
|
 |
Sam is responding to the question about being saved. |
 |
|
 |
Next were two sisters from the village of Borz. Ioana (in white)
and Adriana have been saved for a while but this summer they decided
that they need to give testimony to that fact by baptism. |
 |
These three siblings are from the village of Tarcaita. All three were
saved this summer. The boy, Florin, was saved at camp and the girls,
Mariana (in the foreground) and Ioana were saved at VBS. |
 |
Here Mihai enjoys one of the blessings of the ministry, baptizing your own
children. The oldest boy is Mita, then Andrea followed by Marcu. These
three are some of the sharpest kids in the youth group. Sorry about
the hand to the left. I wasn't the only one in the crowd with a camera. |

The couple on the right, Ioan and Cornelia Turcas, are the parents of
the three teens who were saved this summer and baptized today. Last
winter they began to attend our church, coming in from a village. Their
concern was that if they stay in the Baptist Union church that they were
attending, they would lose their kids to the world. Praise the Lord for
parents concerned enough to make a move for their kids. Not only did
they save their teens from the world, they put them in a place were they
could hear the Word and be saved for all eternity. On the far left is the
sister of Cornelia. Cristina and Florin Ille come from the village of
Pocola to church each week. |
