FORT-DE-FRANCE, Martinique --Eighteen people have been baptized since March, and we plan to baptize 30 more, said Pastor Jack Brunet.
July 1 the congregation had a spiritual concert for evangelism attended by 250 people, of whom 150 were not members of the WCG. Many were friends, colleagues or parents of members.
Eighteen songs were supported by evangelistic messages and excerpts of Christian videos. The event was in four parts:
1) The state of the world, with a video about human misery and four songs about the darkness of the world.
2) The love of God, with an excerpt of the Jesus of Nazareth film, the Sermon on the Mount and three songs.
3) Jesus the only solution, with an excerpt of the film The King of Kings and four songs, among them Via Dolorosa, sung by Marilyn Hodebar.
4. Our answer to the calling, with an excerpt of the Jesus film and seven songs.
The church distributed its free magazine La Vie Chretienne and a brochure titled Et Maintenant? (And Now?) which gives scriptures regarding the necessity to be born again and be a disciple of Jesus.
"Because of the concert and the powerful message, we decided to do a tour of Martinique to promote the gospel in the major cities of the island," Mr. Brunet said, especially where the church broadcasts its weekly radio program, which is locally produced and recorded.
