93 Seekers Baptized in Changchun’s Largest Church

吉林省一所具有138年历史的教会举行了2024年圣洗礼暨主日崇拜。

7月14日主日，在西五马路教堂，主日证道之后，93名慕道友接受洗礼。

一位受洗的年轻姊妹高兴地说：“我爸告诉我了，从此以后我的名字就在主耶稣那里了，我就是主的人了。”

在受洗的现场，还有感人的一幕：苏醒牧师单独为一位参加聚会四年、身体不太好、因为腿的疾病不能跪下的老姊妹施洗。老姊妹说：她来自于安徽，在长春女儿家住，今年80岁，圣经已经通读了四遍。以前没有受洗，今天如愿以偿了。

此外，教堂还特别为这些新信徒安排了后续的培训和团契活动。

长春西五马路教会始建于公元1886年，是长春市历史上最重要和最大的基督教堂，也是吉林省长春市基督教两会的所在地。

A church in Jilin Province, boasting a history of 138 years, held its 2024 Sunday baptism service.

On Sunday, July 14, after the Sunday sermon at West Wuma Road Church in Changchun, 93 seekers were baptized.

A young woman, who was baptized, joyfully said, "My father told me that from now on, I’m baptized into the Lord Jesus, and I belong to Him."

At the baptism site, there was a touching scene: Rev. Su Xing personally baptized an elderly woman who had been attending services for four years. At 80 years old and originally from Anhui, she now lives with her daughter in Changchun. Due to a leg condition, she could not kneel. Despite having read the Bible four times, she had not been baptized before, but she fulfilled her wish that day.

Additionally, the church has arranged follow-up training and fellowship activities for these new believers.

Established in 1886, the church is the most significant and largest church in Changchun and the site of the municipal CC&TSPM.
