On January 23rd, we received an exciting email from Marcella Bailey with a Subject: “Photos of seven precious souls added to the Family of God today.” Marcella wrote, “Bartholomayo called me this morning. I could tell he was very excited about what he was saying. I was not understanding what he was saying, so he sent me a text. I could see why he was so excited to share this good news.”
Marcella concludes, “This is an amazing young man. God has blessed him richly with great talent to spread the Good News of Christ. There is no stopping him. Our Bartholomayo is an incredible servant of the Lord.”
On March 13th, we received an email from Virginia McPeak saying, “We are celebrating the baptisms of two WEI students [in South Sudan], Salvatoria Geng Gargn Deng and Gabriel Gargan (brothers). Salvatoria had been requesting baptism for what seemed to be a very long time. He has been my student since June 2020. We are so thankful to the Sudan Project and the Gospel Chariot for making this happen. Salvatoria requested that I share the photos with everyone at WEI.”
The same day, March 13th, we received another email from Marcella Bailey. This time, the Subject line was “Bartholomayo’s Baptisms on March 13th.” In it, Marcella wrote “The young man with the yellow shorts [not pictured] is Gabriel Garang, the student of Robert Thurman. The young man in the white shirt is Salvatoria Geng, the student of Virginia McPeak.”
