here are now many Iranian and Afghani
brethren baptized in Belgium and we are
doing what we can in appealing to the
authorities to grant them asylum status.
There is no way they can practice their faith
in the regime they have fled from. We are
baptizing people regularly in Belgium.
Recently in Brussels it was a pleasure to visit
and baptize sister ALMA and her 16 year old
daughter ANNA. We appealed in previous
Carelinks for Farsi Bibles to be sent to
Belgium and there was response to that
appeal. One of these was given to Alma,
and along with Farsi Bible Basics she came
to a thorough conviction regarding the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Brother M assisted with translation and
prayers. It was good to see Bible Basics
used as it is intended to be used - as a
guide to be read alongside the Bible,
rather than simply read and uncritically
accepted. In the discussions before
baptism it was good to see brother M and
our new sisters discussing the doctrines of
the Gospel with Bible Basics open next to
open Bibles.
Our sisters are keen to make public witness to
their acceptance of Christ and rejection of
Islam; so we have made a video of their
baptism and at their wish have placed it on
the open internet. It is mostly in Farsi but you
can see it and share in their spirit of joyful
commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ:
