EASTER AND BAPTIZIMAL SERVICE AT BBC Easter is always a special time for us and this year's we had a special family time after the morning service Where meal was provided for those in need followed by a baptismal service we had five candidates but only two were prepared for the baptism. We thank the Lord for them, pray for the other three. The King of Kings Youth Club is also doing very well now with more than 30 children, in Bible Baptist Church. Pray for more leaders to help, that is the area of concern now.
