David Binkley, missionary in Nikolaev, Ukraine writes, “After worship services Sunday [August 6], Vladimir asked me to study with him privately about baptism. We began a study that afternoon, and we met again Monday morning. Vladimir confessed his faith in Jesus Christ and sorrowfully repented of his past sins.
“As we walked down the hill to the river, we discussed his new life as a Christian. We walked out into the water near the Yacht Club. We were both joyful as he came up from that symbolic grave of water where he died to sin. We came back to the church office and sang, ‘O Happy Day’ in Russian.”
