Our first baptism in Lagos, Nigeria occurred on Sunday, July 30, 2017. Due to illness, only two of the five baptismal candidates were able to be baptized on that date. However, we pray by the grace of God that the others will have the opportunity to be baptized very soon.
May the Lord help us in this great commission He has entrusted to us. Let us keep our new brethren in our prayers as well as the work in Lagos that He may prosper it.

MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA—Colombia's National Youth Congress was held in Medellìn, Colombia at Camp Fé y Alegría (Faith and Happiness). Two-hundred and sixty young people attended the event. On Sabbath, there were approximately 320 people present, including brethren older than 35.
"God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world," Galatians 6:14.
“If those who today are teaching the word of God, would uplift the cross of Christ higher and still higher, their ministry would be far more successful. If sinners can be led to give one earnest look at the cross, if they can obtain a full view of the crucified Saviour, they will realize the depth of God’s compassion and the sinfulness of sin.
