Forrest City Evangelism Leads to Baptism

FORREST CITY, ARK. – Angeliqua and Tim Kripps from the Arkansas-Louisiana Education Department joined Franklin Marti, pastor of the Forrest City Seventh-day Adventist Church, for evangelism during the last week of September. As a result one young man, Eric Smith, was baptized and two others requested Bible studies. 

Smith is a high school student whose teacher invited him to attend the meetings. In the past, Eric has helped with Vacation Bible School (VBS) at the Forrest City church, so he was familiar with Adventists, but the evangelistic meetings were a big turning point for him. After being baptized, he was happy to learn about Oakwood College and has planned a visit to the school as he prepares for college.
