ShareHim Guatemala Update:

ShareHim Evangelistic Series Result in 46 Baptisms

The 10 CUC students who have been holding ShareHim evangelistic meetings in and around Flores, Guatemala, were thrilled to learn that 46 individuals were baptised as a result of their efforts and the ongoing work of personal evangelism done by local
church members.  Eight church groups, representing meetings conducted by 7 students and Dr. Haynal, gathered at Lake Peten Itza Sabbath morning to witness 36 of the baptisms.  Six of the remaining baptisms were held at another location, and 4 were baptised on Thursday evening.

After an abbreviated Sabbath School program and an earlier-than-usual church service, members from eight churches gathered in the forest by Lake Peten Itza at 10:45 am for the baptism.  After an extended song service the president of the Northern Guatemala Mission gave a short talk.  The candidates were then asked to indicate their agreement to a series of doctrinal statements.

After this the entire group moved to the edge of the lake to witness the baptisms.  As we sang hymns, the candidates entered the water in groups of four, walking to the waiting pastors between two lines of Pathfinders, or Conquistadors as they are called in Central America.
