Members of the Shepparton church and friends gathered on the 10th of January in the quaint country town of Eldorado, Victoria. We spent a lovely Sabbath together which included the usual morning services, a combined lunch and the highlight of the day, the baptism of Jade Wales. Although there had been some rain, and it was still lightly raining, the creek level did not pose a problem; and Br. Jade made his stand for Jesus while everyone looked on from the shelter of umbrellas.

Faith, Repentance, and Baptism
In the great Commission to His disciples, Christ declared: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved” (Mark 16:15, 16).
A catastrophic cyclone hit Vanuatu on Saturday, March 14, 2015.
Vanuatu is located in the South Pacific and has a population of over 260,000 inhabitants.
Contact with our brethren has been limited due to damages caused to the communications infrastructure, but we have been informed that though some of our brethren lost their houses, God has spared their lives, praised be to the Lord!

Dear Brethren around the world,
Warm Christian greetings with Luke 15:8-10: “What woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
Dear Brethren of the General Conference units around the world,
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth” (Psalm 96:8, 9).
