ANEW Baptism 2025
Sunday 27 April 30, 2025
What an amazing day in the life of our All-Nations ministry, people from the nations being baptized. The day began with Pastor John the Evangelist from Malawi preaching a powerful and inspiring message in the morning Tagalog service. He preached from the Book of Romans Chapter 6 v 1-14. At the end of the sermon, he invited people to come to salvation and also to be baptized.
Half an hour after the end of the service Pastor Ruby together with some of the coworkers team busily prepared to baptize 11 people. Once the registration was done, each of the people being baptized were presented with a baptism gown. One by one the coworkers prayed with them, anointed them with oil before entering the water. One family, comprising three generations, Grandparents, parents and children from South Africa witnessed the baptism of their oldest daughter and granddaughter. Wonderful live transforming moments experienced as people in obedience surrendered their lives to Christ, buried their old sinful life under the water and rose victorious into New life promised by Jesus to all his followers.
Testimony
It was so special to be involved in the water baptism on Sunday, 27th April. This was my first time baptising people in 611 Bread of Life.
I was very encouraged by the seven sisters who responded in the Filipino service to get baptised on the day itself. They came to worship with no intention of getting baptised so they had no change of clothes. But they said yes, nevertheless. So proud of them.
I felt a special joy to address all the baptism candidates and explain the significance of water baptism. They in turn responded by joyfully professing faith in Jesus and their commitment to their home church.
It was such an honour to go into the pool and baptise each one. My heart leaps with joy each time someone obeys Scripture and makes a declaration of love towards Christ and His bride.

I feel delighted and refreshed the moment i got water baptised yesterday. It somehow gave me my inner peace that I always longed for. It gave my heart serenity. Back at the church I was so hesitant before I got baptised. A lot of things came up on my mind. I wasn’t ready but as Pastor Ben told us that baptism isn’t about fully ready but is about being obedient. But still it didn’t move me. So I prayed and asked God what will I do. Suddenly i felt adrenaline rush on my body and a voice telling me go be baptised and be renewed. To leave everything behind and walk straight.
I wanted to ‘die’ with Jesus and resurrect with Him for He is my Saviour and Redeemer. I wanted to be cleansed and born again.🙌

My Water Baptism
My sister invited me in 611 Bread of Life when I came here in Hong Kong. It was the church anniversary that time. Since then there were times that I could not attend worship service because we were in China. I joined online service even though the signal in China was very poor.
I thank God l have reached this point of getting baptised. I am so glad and happy I have come to this family. My sister and I used to talk about a beach where I was going to be baptised. But yesterday, when Pastor Ben asked who wanted to be baptised, my sister asked me again if I wanted to. I told my sister, “Okay”. And I went to the front.
I didn’t hesitate even though I didn’t have a change of clothes. I didn’t hesitate to get baptised on the spot. I said to my self, “Lord, this is my new life.”
I have gone through many problems in life, but God was always there. He never left me. Holy Spirit confirmed with a sign that I was going to get baptised on April 27th. After my baptism I looked at my phone – it was our father’s birthday, which my sister and I had forgotten. April 27th is a very memorable day for me.
Thanks to my sister who invited me to church. I got to know God even more in my life. Thanks also to our 611 Bread of Life Family.

My Baptism Story
Coming to 611 BOL Hong Kong I have felt that God has been drawing closer to me as I have been more hungry for Him. I had a desire to be baptised as I truly felt I am ready to confess my faith in Jesus as my Saviour and deepen my walk in serving Him. I also wanted to be baptised here in Hong Kong as it is a new beginning for me and my family.
When Pastor Ben and my dad anointed me and prayed for me, I felt as if I was breathing new air. Before I got baptised my dad shared with me that when I go under the water that my old nature is left behind and I will come up new, in Jesus. He also said that I need to hear my Father’s voice in heaven saying, “This is my daughter in whom I am well pleased”.
When I went under the water I felt that I was saying goodbye and when I came up out of the water I felt liberated and free. I went to the changing room with my sister Hayley and for a moment I just stood still and began to cry just thinking about what had just happened. I heard my Father’s voice and felt His acceptance.
I am so grateful for the wonderful experience with the love I received from my family, and church family.

My Water Baptism
In the past I hesitated to get baptised, because I had doubts and religious beliefs. I told myself that I wouldn’t change my religion. My cell group has been encouraging me to get baptised for a long time. I kept saying I wasn’t ready.
However, last Sunday after I heard the Word and understood the true meaning of baptism, all doubts in my mind were gone. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour. I didn’t hesitate to register on the spot even though I was on my period at that time so it would be sprinkling instead of immersion. It was not an obstacle for me.
Without a doubt I want to be baptised because I choose to obey God and love Him with all my heart and soul. Because of His compassion and mercy towards me, I turn from my sins, get water baptised and live with Christ. I will worship Him until my last breath.
-Jhonna Dith was baptised on Sunday, 27th April 2025
I am so blessed that I didn’t think twice to get baptised yesterday. When I saw the text from my cell leader Gladly, I said ”Yes, I want to.”
But I experienced spiritual battle. I got sick with cold and flu. But I was determined and said that I will not let the enemy triumph over me. I felt heaviness and sad that week before baptism. I prayed every night that God would strengthen me so I can be part of the water baptism.
On Saturday night I couldn’t even sleep. I was so excited to attend the worship and be baptised even though I didn’t feel well.
Thank God that after baptism that I accepted God to my life again and I felt so light. The heaviness has gone. I was so happy when I went to sleep last night. I kept smiling. It was unspeakable joy.

My Water Baptism
April 27th of 2025 was just a normal day for me until the unexpected change – my on-the-spot baptism decision. God used His children around me to encourage me to be baptised. I don’t quite know what happened. I just obeyed Holy Spirit and responded to get baptised.
When we were lining up to be immersed in the water, I didn’t know why I was crying. But I remember the day before my flight to HK, I dreamt of seeing a bright light and God was hugging me. I knew He was assuring me that I will not be alone in my journey here in HK. That moment before I got immersed in the water, again I felt that God was there by my side.
Now I truly believe that God is my Saviour and my loving Father. I will continue to seek Him. Even in my darkest time, I know He is always there for me.
At my baptism, I promised Him that I surrender my life to no one else but Him. I believe He has a better plan for me. Thank God for bringing me to 611 Bread of Life. When I first came here, I truly felt God’s presence. I knew I will draw more closer to Him here in this family. Amen.
