News 13 Baptized in Panama

July 16th, 2006

Chitré, Panama—Thirteen new Christians were immersed in Chitré, Panama, on July 16, after completing a month-long baptism class. Two of the converts resulted directly from contact with the Overseas Assistants who taught English for eight weeks during the summer. Of the two, the young lady, Sarah, was instrumental in leading her entire family to faith in Christ. All of them now attend the Good News FWB Church.

An 85-year-old lady was baptized, as well as her daughter and grandson. Dr. Doug Earls, pastor of the Calvary Chapel FWB Church in Buffalo, MO, was present for the baptism. He and his wife Betsy hosted a pastor's retreat July 12-14. Over 30 people attended the retreat and appreciated the teaching of Dr. and Mrs. Earls.
