59 Souls Baptized at Davao del Sur Provincial Jail

December 21, 2016

Are you a member of the body of Christ? If not, you are outside of Christ, in the kingdom of Satan, and lost. We wish for all men to be saved. Life is too short, eternity is too long and hell is too horrible for one to die in a lost condition. The Sinner's Greatest Need .. .repent of his sins (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; 17:30), confess his faith in Christ (Acts 8:37; Rom. 10:10), and be baptized into Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38; Gal. 3:26-27).

By God's grace, the unsearchable riches of the Gospel of Christ to seek and save the lost was preached at Davao del Sur Provincial Jail (also known as "Provincial Rehabilitation Center") in Matti, Digos City, Davao del Sur. This day, we give all the glory to God for the harvest has come. 59 PRECIOUS SOULS obey the Gospel through water baptism.

For safety purposes, the jail guards only allow us to baptized them by group according the their cell and we are still thankful for it. Every group, my father preached first the importance of baptism according to the great commission of Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16). After preaching the truth, we went immediately to the water put in a drum where everyone could be buried in water.

The pictures shown below were the first batch who submitted to baptism:

The following pictures are the 2nd batch who submitted to baptism. My father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, baptized them. Other preachers who cooperated were brother Ben Dulong, Joseph Notarte, Jonathan Notarte, Felipe Tula Jr., Ruel Eloy and I (Joshua A. Notarte) but we give all the glory to God.

The last pictures below are the 3rd batch who submitted to baptism. Many more prisoners were not baptized this time. Please pray that God may give us another opportunity next time to baptized them.
