There were different teaching classes during the camp – class for some young peoples who did not have the assurance of Salvation, and class for Christian Life (for young peoples who have the assurance of Salvation). By the works of the Holy Spirit and the power of the Gospel, over 60 young people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and took believer’s baptism (Water baptism) on Friday (March 31st). To God be the glory!
