Afghan Is Baptized in Indonesia
Len Hardaway, an elder of the church in Woodinville, Washington, has taught numerous WEI Internet students and has arranged to have some of them baptized. Two of his converts were pictured in the Towells’ column in the last issue of the WEI newsletter.
In an email dated September 26, Len said, “I forgot to tell you that another of my students, Mustafa Shadan, was baptized. I’m not exactly sure how long ago. He ‘disappeared’ for quite a while and then suddenly showed up again last week to tell me what he had done. He is an Afghan living in Indonesia. He apparently had someone in the Anglican Church baptize him by immersion. I wish he had warned me before he went to them for help.”
By the grace of God, Len is a master teacher. He picks the hard ones, and God uses him to lead them to Christ. For example, a PhD research physicist in Ukraine is now our brother in Christ. So is a college professor in India.
Len says, “I dearly wish I could meet many of my students around the world face-to-face, hug them, shake their hand, and just enjoy getting acquainted. Heaven is really going to be a fantastic ‘meet and greet’ party.”
