“Catalin Flaviu Hategan, 29 years old, was baptized on Sunday, April 26, by Vasile Iuhos, the evangelist and minister of the Oradea Church of Christ.
“Catalin first studied WEI materials, at the age of 13, as a student in a WEI short-term mission in 2013. [Editor’s note: Tom Langley was his teacher.] He was a highly intelligent boy who came well-prepared every day, and always had exceptional questions for his teacher about the Bible lessons.
“As Catalin grew into a tall and very intelligent young man, he never forgot about those Bible lessons, and years later, he began returning to the church building for Wednesday Bible study and worship services on Sundays. Vasile was there to answer his questions and encourage him.
“Sometimes it takes many years for the seed to take root and produce a fruitful response.
“WEI teachers, please be patient and just keep sowing the seed. We simply do not know how long that seed might lie dormant before springing forth to the abundant life promised by the Lord. Even our youngest are eternally impacted by the Power of God’s Word.”
