GOD'S FAITHFULNESS IN BEISEKER AND AIRDRIE

Baptism of Colin Wiebe.

In the district of Beiseker and Airdrie, God has been working despite all the challenges that COVID-19 continues to bring. The end of summer and the early fall has led to eight baptisms and a profession of faith in this region.

In Airdrie, the church celebrated the baptisms of six young people and one senior on Sabbath, August 28th. Victoria (9) and Lauren Hixt (7) were baptized with their Grandfather, Larry Hixt. They were joined in their commitment to Jesus by Zach Alag (12), Tiyamike Banda (23), Temwani Banda (16), and Talandira Banda (13).

In Beiseker, the beginning of autumn saw Shawn Wadsworth (who has long served as an integral part of the church community) officially become a member of the local congregation through a profession of faith. And on the afternoon of Sabbath, October 9th, Colin Wiebe took a polar plunge in the Rosebud River as a public proclamation of his faith in Jesus.

The studies to prepare for these baptisms took place on ZOOM during the various seasons of restrictions in the province. God proved, however, that He is still faithful, and He is truly seeking those who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. These stories remind us that the church is more than brick and mortar, but, rather, the people who have committed to being God’s temples on earth, filled with the Holy Spirit.
