Hilversum International Christian Center (HICC) in the Netherlands continues to grow and evidences of new and renewed faith are everywhere. This was particularly true when nine people were baptized in water recently; a sign of their decision to follow Christ. Those baptized represented the countries of the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and the USA.

Those baptized gave beautiful testimonies as they followed Christ's command of water baptism. They came from a variety of religious and

non-religious backgrounds. A British woman in her mid-50's told how the church had been the significant inspiration in finding a new and vital faith, filled with the Holy Spirit. A Dutch woman who found Christ at the opening of HICC more than a year ago told the crowd of onlookers, "Today I am baptized, believing it is the start of a new and different life." Heidi, and American, expressed her love for Christ and thanks to God for his grace as she found Christ in the midst of a painful divorce.

One by one, people from many countries, many religious backgrounds are finding a new life in relationship with Jesus Christ.
