Emotions filled the room and angels rejoiced as eight souls were dedicated to God. All eight candidates felt a mixture of emotions: happiness, relief, being saved, an element of fear, and encouragement were only a few that could be detected from their expressions. Family, friends, and church members filled Holloway Seventh-day Adventist church on Sabbath 22^nd January 2011 to witness the baptism of 8 special candidates: Rachael Cuffie, Janice Jeffrey, Boaz Tobie, Nile Phillip, Roger Baptiste, (ROGERS FIANCE) and brother and sister, Lientho De’Oyen Barclay and La’marisa Barclay. Pastor Holder preached an encouraging sermon which informed and reminded the candidates and congregation that when we get baptized it doesn’t mean that the devil will leave us alone and we become perfect, getting baptized means that we accept Jesus as our Lord and personal Saviour and that we are willing to devote our lives according to the life of Jesus. Life will only get harder facing temptations and tribulations but we need to be like the tree that doesn’t wither but grows spiritually and bare spiritual fruits that bring other souls to God. Poems, Bible texts and melodious songs touched each heart in Holloway church as each candidate prepared to undergo the physical cleansing of Baptism. Candidates Jhenaya Elagoz, Lientho De’Oyen Barclay (7) and La’marisa Barclay (11) blessed our hearts with melodious solo items. It was pleasing to see, prodigal sons, Boaz Tobie and Roger Baptiste come back home. Bro Roy Smith welcomed Boaz and informed him that the church has many “Ruth’s”. Bible worker Sis Brenda Rutherford was proud to see her former John Loughborough student Roger Baptiste return home and devoting his life to Christ. It was a blessing to see 14 year old Nile Phillip decide to give his life to Christ. His mother, Sis Phillip told us that he wanted to get baptized for a very long time but every time he asked she would have an excuse. However on this occasion, he informed her that he will be getting baptized and invited her to come. Hayley blessed us with another one of her famous poems and we were reminded that we “can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Sisters Rachael Cuffie and Janice Jeffrey were pillars of strength. They both encouraged that we should leave our experiences to the past and that when we have a relationship with Jesus, we will be able to overcome and do anything that we put our minds to. We pray that our brothers and sisters have a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and that we as followers of Christ may bring others to Him by showing love and respect.
