And some stories that come from such occasions cannot easily be forgotten.

On Saturday, October 3, 2015 a baptism was conducted in Denmark. Sister Rebecca Majnolovic was baptized. It was a very blessed day, with full of good spirit and joy. We have already begun a plan to prepare the next candidate. There were two young people who attended our church for the first time and were impressed by the solemnity of the service. God be honored!

A candid, unedited letter sent by a visitor:
"This seems to be a worldwide body of people unified in purpose. . . . In their services they always have a handshake line coming out of the sanctuary—if there are 20 people who came that day you will shake nearly 20 hands—if there are 100 people there you will shake nearly 100 hands . . . .
