Day 8 in Freetown

John Smith with a blog entry:

Another dear soul was baptized into Christ today. "David" is a very earnest and spiritually hungry young man. I do not have a picture of him as I left early having "hit the wall"and needing to rest.

David presented a great lesson on What Constitutes Scriptural Baptism. It was after this lesson that David asked if he could be baptized. It was a great lesson - presented in a very easily understandable way.

David is doing great work. His natural friendliness is making him a "fan favorite." All the brethren love him and gravitate to him. We are fortunate to have a young man of such great talent on the trip. His contribution is indespensible.

Justin spoke of Common Denominational Abuse of Scripture. It was an expose of Calvinism. The brethren wee introduced to some words they had never heard before, but listened intently. I can't say enough about Justin's courage in going to Kailuhn over the weekend. He has a genuine passion for evangelism.

I spoke on the Similitudes with a special emphasis upon encouraging the brethren to look beyond their own congregation to see where the gospel can be planted or watered. Tomorrow we will deal with sexual sin and divorce from the Sermon on the Mount.

Hope to write more tomorrow of spiritual victories in Sierra Leone.
