Praise regarding Recent Baptisms
Baptism A memo from Rev. H.C. Stephen, New Testament Baptist Churches Association Representative, Manipur, India:
“Praise the Lord! Last Sunday I had the privilege of baptizing 37 young people in a riverside baptism service.”

Rev. Stephen is a good friend in the International Ministries network of the GARBC. Read of the Lord’s blessing in the International Partnerships of Fundamental Baptist Ministries (IPFBM). Wouldn’t your church like to form a friendship with a like-minded church across the world? View our listing of International Partners and start an email friendship. You might like to email a note of rejoicing to Pastor Stephen .

Welcome South America!
During a recent trip to Guyana, GARBC International Ministries Director, Chris Hindal, and his wife, Deb, met and became friends with the newest IPFBM partner and the first partner from South America, the Guyana Association of Baptist Churches. The Guyana Association President, Everard Cadogan, and Brother David Cole escorted the Hindals as they visited the participating churches churches in Berbice as well as in Georgetown. During this same trip, the Hindals were pleased to learn as they visited Peru that the Association of Baptist Churches in Trujillo, Peru, voted to fellowship in the IPFBM , becoming the second partner from a South American country. Associations of like-minded Baptist churches in Brazil, Argentina, Boliva, Paraguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guiana,Chile…we’d love to hear from you!
