Prabhu Kumar continues to travel in India and Bangladesh, setting up WEI “branches” and baptizing students into Christ.
In April, Prabhu made a three-day trip to the Prakasam district of Andrapradesh and granted diplomas to eighty-two students. In three days, eight students were baptized into Christ.
In Bangladesh, Prabhu attended two meetings in the district of Khgrachari. He writes, “It was really the most fearful situation I have faced in this country. Many local people are observing. Many police people are observing, and many Army people are also observing. God only strengthened us to take two young students of WEI to the canal and baptize them. Thank God for giving us a great victory in this Muslim country.”
Back at home in India on June 7, Prabhu reported that five more WEI students had been baptized. “To baptize them, we faced more problems because of the RSS people. They objected to our baptizing them in the nearest lake. So we searched for one hour and found a baptismal tub which was constructed by one of the denominational pastors.
But there was no water. So we went to the corporation people and requested them to supply a mini water tank by paying Rs 500 at their office. After 2 hours, they unloaded the water in the baptismal tub. Finally Bro. Michael baptized those people in that baptismal tub at 5:30 p.m. I took the snaps with my camera. God has strengthened our WEI teacher, Bro. Michael, to save five of his WEI students.”
As of June 7, fifty-five WEI students in India had been baptized into Christ in 2011.
