Who's Next?

Next was baptized Sunday. What a celebration!! Next brought like seven of his friends and classmates we had never met before plus regulars, and GaoYan's Dad had just arrived from the hometown, so we had a little more than 20 people. Next is a senior student friend of Jeff, Cathy, and Tanner. God has been active in his life this year.

These two short emails from Next say a lot about him.

Hi Josh and GaoYan
Thank you for your verses sharing.
Actually i learned more about Jesus Christ who died for us, so i decided to follow the words of Jesus Christ.
one idea is that when i get baptized, holy spirit will dwell on my heart and protect me forever and will have a great impact on my life.
i will be grateful if you can tell more about Holy Spirit.

Hi Josh and GaoYan
Thank you for your sharing. recently i am so excited to be Christian that it is hard for me to sleep early.
I am praying for God to change my heart to love him deeper and deeper. and i am eager to establish stronger relationship with Jesus Christ.By the way, i am going to invite 5-9 good friends of mine on Sunday morning.
Is it all right?
best wishes!!

Jeff and Cathy suggested for those who wish to say some encouraging words to Next. Many of his friends spoke in Chinese of their desire for faith, but said they struggled so much to find faith. They were amazed by their friend Next who had decided to follow Jesus.

Next has pursued righteousness, godliness, faith, and love. Next has been called to eternal life in Jesus Christ.

I Timothy 6:11-12 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Let us be in prayer for Next and let us pray for "Who is next?"
