Dr. Vezopa Tetseo preached the gospel on the topic “God’s faithfulness.” In his message, he said jubilee was a time of retrospection to evaluate one’s life and ministry as individuals and church to plan for future course of action for soul saving ministry.
On Sunday evening, president, Chakhesang Baptist Church Council, Rev. Khriitsoyi Liiriio said the early Christian were persecuted, despised, rejected from family, excommunicated from social life and even driven away from village boundaries. In the midst of such trials, early believers loved and cared for each other which convinced the non-believers that they were worshipping the true and living God. What we are today was only because of the patience and perseverance of the early Christians which we must reflect upon now, said Rev. Luruo.
