A student enrolled in the Bible school in May. He soon received a revelation of One God and was baptized in Jesus' name. On his first visit home, he baptized sixty-nine members of his church in Jesus' name.

One of our pastors had been witnessing to a couple with little success. The family even denied the existence of God. Tragedy struck the family and their baby died. In desperation the mother brought the dead baby to the church. The pastor was present and he agreed to pray for the lifeless baby. He prayed for three hours and God miraculously restored life to the baby.

The principal of our Bible school was a guest speaker in one our churches. He prayed for the sick at the end of the service and a man who was deaf and dumb was completely healed.
