From the 13th to the 28th of May 2017, Pastor Hansley Moorooven held a campaign at the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Yopougon-Niangon. The theme of this Bible series was “Christ, the hope of Niangon”.
To meet the expectations of the Division in terms of evangelism, Pastor Moorooven, Associate Secretary of the General Conference, held an important campaign in Yopougon-Niangon from the 13th to the 27 of May 2017. This resulted in the baptism of 53 souls.
To crown it all, the Sabbath 27th May was celebrated with these new members who decided to join the Church of God. During his last sermon, Elder Moorooven emphasized on three main points: Spiritual growth (Rom.8:26), A devoted prayer life (Ps. 141:2) and Sharing our faith with others (Mat.5:16). Thus he invited all who gathered to a total surrender to Jesus.
The President of the Division, Pastor Elie Weick who came to support the preacher and the newly baptized members, said that such ceremonies should be repeated in the Division territory in order to hasten the second coming of Christ. Appreciating the presence of Pastor Hansley, he said:
” We had had the visit of Pastor, Moorroven, Associate Secretary of the General conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in order to help us achieve our goals for these five coming years. This campaign comes at the appointed time to evangelize the city of Abidjan. My heart is full of joy to see this morning young and elderly people giving their lives to Jesus”.
Pastor Hansley challenged us to take care of these new converts to keep them in the church till Jesus comes.
”I have come to encourage the Church in this part of the world and today, we had people who gave their lives to Jesus and are baptized. We must do all that it takes to keep them in the church and be active until Jesus comes again”.
This gathering ended up in joy and a meal was offered to the newly baptized, to the Pastors and the church Elders.
