First Baptism in the Tanguat Church!

“Rejoice with us!”

Derek and Chantal Chen minister among the Tanguat people of Papua New Guinea. “Rejoice with us! We were so privileged to witness the first-ever baptism in the Tanguat church. Sixteen brothers and sisters in Christ chose to be baptized on June 25! Hallelujah! It’s been a long and winding journey for the Tanguat church to get to this point. Since the church was born in August 2015, it has gone through many years of ups and downs. Last Sunday marked the first time Tanguat believers were willing to take that step of obedience to become disciples of Jesus! We were so encouraged to hear them publicly declare their trust in Jesus as the only way to the Father and their desire to follow him.” Watch a video.
