Preachables China:

CHINA. Sitting in a living room in a coastal China city, the host was explaining to the small gathering that there would soon be a baptism on a nearby beach. He encouraged the new believers to follow Christ in baptism. Suddenly Wang Yong*, a nonbeliever, announced that he too wanted to be baptized. It was an awkward moment. The leader explained that, in order to be baptized, one must first accept Christ into his heart. "But I want to accept Christ," Wang Yong said. "I want to accept Him right now." The group rejoiced as he did just that, voicing a prayer of repentance and accepting the gift of salvation freely offered to him through Christ Jesus. He was ready indeed for baptism, and they were reminded once again that God is constantly working to draw people into His kingdom.
