First Baptisms

JONESBORO, ARK. – The Jonesboro Seventh-day Adventist Church has a small Hispanic group meeting with them. Last September the church held a series of meetings with their Spanish-speaking group.

During the last weekend of the series, a couple began attending. Oscar and Rosalia Martinez continued attending regularly and it was  a joy and privilege to see the Lord draw them back into the fold.

They had been Adventist many years ago but had drifted away from the Lord. They made a full and renewed commitment to Him. God has truly been working in their lives and they had recently expressed a desire for baptism. That day was a very high Sabbath for the Jonesboro church. Oscar and Rosalia are the first baptisms in our Hispanic group and I have a feeling that they will be great leaders in our little congregation.
