In a remarkable day for World Bible School’s Ocean Bridge program, 102 Students were baptized into Christ in a single day at Shundure Secondary School in Zimbabwe.
The WBS Service Center in Zimbabwe organized a special graduation day inviting Students, parents and community leaders to celebrate the Students’ progress in their Bible studies. The gathering also provided an opportunity to share the Gospel with the wider community. After the graduation ceremony, attendees were divided into smaller classes according to their beliefs and spiritual backgrounds. WBS recruiters joined each group to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and explain His church.
With a portable baptistry available on-site, those who believed and were ready to be baptized had the opportunity to respond that same day.
By the end of the event, 102 Students had been baptized into Christ. Their response is a wonderful example of how studying God’s Word can lead people to faith and obedience.
The work continues beyond graduation day. The newly baptized believers have begun gathering for Sunday worship at the school as they work to establish a new congregation. These gatherings will give them the opportunity to grow in their faith, study God’s Word together and build a foundation for their life as a church.
What began as a celebration of Bible study achievements became an opportunity for 102 Students to be born again and find their place in the Body of Christ!
