Pastor Palangyos:
"A mother always prayed for her children to go to church and believe in Christ. For years, the prayer seemed not answered. Still, this mother faithfully prayed and hoped that someday one of her sons will go to church and follow Christ. This July 2020, God answered her prayers.
Eric and his whole family was baptized in Bethany Lutheran Mission church last July 5, 2020. He was sick and cannot stand but his faith carried him together with his four beautiful children.
His eldest daughter, Jerica, always attended Sunday school. She wanted her whole family to come to church as well. Most young people her age already started to abandon the church but she remained faithful and clung to our confession. During my visitation, her father accepted the Word and decided to be baptized. I was surprised but was joyful by his decision. We pray that this pandemic ends soon so we can conduct home visitation and continuously study the Word. Also, we pray that others will follow his footstep.
I and other lay leaders are happy with this development and this proves that even during pandemic, God is still active and is working in mysterious ways . Bethany Lutheran World Mission is an instrument of God to announce God's forgiveness."
