Two souls, two sisters in the faith of Jesus, were baptized in Manado, the capital city of the Indonesian province of North Sulawesi, on July 10, 2022, by Pastor Adrie Jules Kalengkongan, Pastor Kalengkongan announced on Facebook on the day of the baptism. Brother Hens Hendri Karinda, former student at the Bethany Missionary School in Neckarsteinach-Darsberg, Germany, from year 1990 to 1992, attended the event.
By the way, the existence of an European Christian missionary school at IMS is very important for the future of God’s church, because today, thirty years after graduation of this students’ generation, we see the following of the former students serving the Lord faithfully: Pastor Tzvetan Petkov, General Conference President, Pastor Vladimire Marinov, European Division Secretary, Pastor Daniel Serban, German Union President, Pastor Gustavo Castellanos, German Union Secretary, Pastor Adrian Dinut, East-German Field President, Pastor Ruben Martinez, co-worker of Ministerial Department of General Conference at IMS, and even the author of this article.
