Baptismal Testimonials

KC, baptized on October 14, 2000, found WBAJ after some of her non-SDA friends told her there was a good Christian talk station on the AM dial.  She had no radio in her house that worked, so for about four to six weeks, she would daily sit in her car for long periods of time to listen to programs.  She says she burned a lot of gasoline, because when it was cold she would run the car to keep warm.  He husband finally bought her an indoor radio so she could listen in their home.

G, baptized Sabbath, October 14, 2000, was a Jewish lady who had become a Lutheran.  Her Lutheran church had decided to sponsor her to go to the Lutheran Seminary to become a Lutheran Minister.  Then she heard WBAJ and was very excited to hear about the Sabbath and other doctrines.  Her husband was furious about her interest with a strange religion and giving up her scholarship.  He told her that he would divorce her if she joined the SDA church.  She felt he meant it and prayed.  Her husband briefly listened to the programs on WBAJ and said SDA's might not be as strange as he once thought, but he still was very upset that she was involved.  At her baptism, G again asked for prayer for her marriage.

J and P were both baptized Sabbath, October 14, 2000.  J had been raised Catholic, then he left all religion.  Later he and his wife attended Assembly of God churches, but then stopped, choosing to "just read the Bible."  They first noticed that they should eat only clean meats and then felt they should worship on a particular day.  They first tried Sunday, but that didn't work.  Then they tried Friday, and that didn't work.  Then they were trying Saturday from midnight to midnight.  During this time, J was driving and happened across WBAJ on the dial, and one of the first sermons that he heard was by Doug Batchelor.  In the next hour and a half, he discussed two topics: clean meats and the Sabbath!  This was just what J and P were following!  They were extremely excited and kept listening and studying.  They had thought Seventh-day Adventists were a cult.  He says he looked up SDA's in the phone books and found a little one with twenty members near where he lives.  As he kept listening, he heard Pastor Tony from the First Church in "Lexington", who invited people to come.  He thought he meant Lexington, Kentucky.  But then he heard Pastor Tony mention I-20 that goes through Lexington, S.C.  He says he tells everyone about the Sabbath whether he knows the person or not.  When he was baptized, he almost cried and said from the baptismal tank, "I want to thank this church for supporting WBAJ.  Thank you, thank you for supporting WBAJ."

C, baptized in January, showed up one Sabbath in December with his little daughter.  He said he had been listening to the radio and Sabbath was right!  He had arranged to stop working on Sabbaths and he wanted to be baptized.
