God is the reason for this victorious and blissful baptism of 15 souls at Aboabo FFWBC through His grace. The event was officiated by Rev. Freedom G. Amenin, with the support of the congregation for His glory, on June 30, 2024, in Purok III, Aboabo, Sofronio Española, Palawan. It was witnessed by church members after Sunday worship.
Indeed, God has already set an example to be baptized in water and enjoy life’s journey to the fullest, serving the Lord and His ministry. It is a great example of humility, an act of surrender and submission to the work and will of God. It proves our trust in the new way of living, where they have surrendered themselves to God, who will be the One to reward, lovingly provide for their daily needs, divinely guide and drive their lives, gloriously redeem them from the darkest parts of their lives, and richly bless them, for He is the owner of everything in this world.
At last, they are strongly rooted in His words in scripture, which says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17. To God be all the glory and praises, for this is only possible and has been done because of His unfailing goodness and love for everyone. Again, here in Aboabo, First Free Will Baptist will continually work for the ministry and be useful in all abilities and ministries for His Name alone.
