新的一年很好的开始。。。 A very good start to the new year…

2011年1月1日晚上祷告会为127位初信者施洗。。。让他们干干净净开始新的一年特别有意义。。。
Baptized 127 new believers during the prayer meeting on the night of Jan 1st, 2011… that they could start the new year squeaky clean is indeed very meaningful…

感谢主,当晚受洗的男女老少都有。。。
Thank God, among those baptized that night, we had male and female, both young and old…

也感谢主,弟兄姐妹都会把福音传给社会各阶层人士。。。
Thank God too that our brothers and sisters do spread the Gospel to all levels of society…

当晚很特别的是伟明,他是特殊孩童,但很喜欢来教会,也很会赞美敬拜和祷告。。。
A very special person was Wei Ming that night, he is a special child, but he loves to come to church and he is very good at singing praises and praying as well…

受洗的年龄层也很广,有年长的。。。很感动!
The age gap among those baptized is very wide too, we have the elderly… Very touching!

也有刚满十二岁的,我们教会只洗十二岁以上的。。。这个好可爱!
And those just turned twelve, we only baptize those twelve and above in our church… This one is so cute!

有时候也有家人一起受洗。。。如这两兄弟。。。这位是哥哥。。。
Sometimes we have family members baptizing together… like these two brothers… this is the older brother…

这个是弟弟。。。不要问我为什么。。。
This is the younger brother… Don’t ask me why…

有一些在洗礼池里就被圣灵充满了。。。
Some would be filled with the Holy Spirit while in the pool…

由于人多,加上有一些很想也把我拉下水,所以难免会累,有时候会若有所思。。。
再累也感恩很多灵魂得救!
Because there were many people, and some wanted to pull me into the water too, so I could feel weary too, and sometimes in deep thought…
No matter how tiring, I give thanks for the many souls saved!

有时候照片拍出来,好像我在谋杀。。。
但其实洗礼也真的是我们老我旧人要死。。。感谢主给我们复活的新生命。。。
Sometimes the photos appear to be like I was murdering someone…
But actually baptism is really putting to death our old self… Thank God for giving us a resurrected new life…
