"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." ~ James 1.17

What an exciting week during our Holiday Bible Club. The Lord has undoubtedly done a great work in bringing many young men and women under the preaching of the Word.

What a privilege to weekly preach Christ in this great city! It has been a constant source of encouragement to our church, to see visitors come in to our chapel from this ministry. The Open-Air Ministry has challenged many of our people to testify publicly and boldly of their faith in our wonderful Saviour. May many souls be saved through this great work!

"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
Psalm 127:3

We love children here at Oxford Baptist Chapel and believe firmly in the responsibility of families to raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. We want to do all that we can to assist families in this wonderful privilege and are always happy to see parents dedicating themselves to the Lord in this way. May the Lord strengthen our families and raise up mighty men and women of God from our children!

It's always a joy to watch God's people follow the Lord in believer's baptism, but there is something special about having a public baptism in a river! Three of our precious people, who have previously professed fatih in Jesus Christ, took this step of obedience in August. I hope these photos thrill your soul and encourage you to remember how great our God is!
