Michael is More than Numbers

Special delivery of Truth. The Truth always finds a way to reach people who are seeking. When we think it could be impossible, God finds a way. You are all special delivery agents of the Truth. Hundreds of Follow-up volunteers on the ground are also special delivery agents of Truth. With all of us working together, God opens the path. We continue to see record numbers of WBS Students registering. They register from all areas of the world. Some are near a congregation, and many are not nearby. In every case, we work hard to make the connections to see the baptisms and the personal Bible studies begin. Many who register won’t accept the Truth, yet our task of delivering the Truth remains the same. We move on and continue to deliver with the love of Christ, ready to share with those willing to receive it. Keep up the good work! Keep on adopting more Students today.

Michael is More Than a Number

Michael is an example of one who is hungering and thirsting for righteousness. He is earnestly seeking the Truth. Not all Students progress this quickly, but the growth can be explosive when the seed lands on rich soil. He registered on April 11, 2024 and was baptized into Christ on April 20, 2024. Since then, he has completed the Master Series, completed all the advanced courses available, and is currently working on the Sunset Ministry Studies. Those are very advanced and will take him more time to complete.

He lives in a remote state in western Kenya, and the preacher in a town further away had to drive some distance to meet with Michael, study with him, and then baptize him into Christ. Michael knew he was lost in his sins. Michael had never been baptized in water. He believed in God but knew he had not been taught accurately from the Bible. His Study Helper, Barbara, and his Follow-up Partner, George, delivered the Truth. Our new brother in Christ is growing and will deliver the Truth of the Gospel to his fields for harvest. Pray for Michael’s new walk of faith.
