Several Bagwidos professed their faith in Christ when evangelistic Bible teaching concluded on Friday.
After the people heard about the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, Rafail stood to say, "When I heard Jesus say 'It is finished,' I knew that there was something to this that we had never heard. … Do you hear this? We have never heard this before. His work was finished. There is no more work to be done. The free gift is just sitting out there for us to take it."
Others were listening and told how the Gospel affected them.
"I just am so happy about what Jesus, the Redeemer, did for my sin on the cross," said Klara.
"He had to carry so much heavy and pain and sorrow and burden for me. My inner being just cries when I think of what He did for me. He cleaned my dirty inner being and my body of sin. He washed it away with his blood and He made me clean again. My inner being cannot stop thinking about this. Last night as I tried to sleep, I just turned and turned, for my thoughts would go back to Jesus and what He did for me on the cross.
"I am so happy about the free gift that Jesus gave to me," she said.
"I believe in the Redeemer. I believe in His free gift for my sin," said Bonipas, who is more than 80 years old. "He cleaned my dirty inner being because I came from Adam's family. I was born in Adam but now I am born in Christ…. Don't worry; I will go first to heaven, because I am old. Then I will go and be with God in heaven, and I will wait for you there."
"When I heard that [Jesus] took my place and joined me back to the Father, I know that is true," said Jeffri. "I will stand in God's canoe for good. He bought all my sin. He took my place and I believe Him. He was the perfect Lamb. He is the Door. He is the only road for me to God. He is my Redeemer."
"We had heard the story of Jesus but we didn't know who Jesus really was," said Ismail. "Today I believe that Jesus is my Redeemer. Today I believe that when Jesus died on the cross, His blood bought my sin. The big space that Adam and Eve made between them and God, when they sinned in the garden, all men who are born get that big space as well.
"But today I believe in the Redeemer, and the great Creator Being (God) joined me back to Him, the original Source of Life. Now I am standing in God's canoe, never to go back to Satan's canoe again."
Some Bagwidos have followed the teaching but they still have questions. Pray that they will soon have their questions answered so they can join those who are rejoicing in their new life.
