Good news keeps pouring in from India as Prabhu Kumar and his associates reap a harvest.
On January 11, Prabhu wrote, “I would like to send you a report about the first two baptisms in this year 2012.” One of the two people baptized was a twenty-five-year-old WEI student.
In February, Prabhu reported that six Hindu people had been baptized. Five of them were WEI students.
Prabhu wrote, “Yesterday, Bro. Jaypaul sent me two baptism photos. He said, ‘The students who were baptized were from the Hindu religion. Though their parents did not agree to it, they came forward to be baptized. Now, they are wondering if their parents will cooperate with them in their future life. They both asked me to pray for them.’”
On February 23, Prabhu took his wife and daughter to Vakathippa for a WEI graduation ceremony. Sixteen students received their diplomas. Following the ceremony, Bro. T. Ratnapaul took three of his students to Uppada beach and baptized them into Christ. Bro. Ratnapaul reported that all three students were from “pure Hindu families.”
Following their baptism, the students said, “We have been vexed with this idolatry for 20 years. Now, God has released us from bondage to Satan.” Prabhu writes, “When we heard their words, we too thanked God.”
These young Christians have a difficult life ahead of them. Let us pray that they will remain strong under Bro. Ratnapaul’s guidance.
