Five baptisms in Stockholm



The Calvary Chapel fellowship in Stockholm rejoices as five people are baptized.

In early March, Calvary Stockholm welcomed five more people into God's family as a group of new additions to the fellowship were baptized on the same night. The baptisms took place in the borrowed church facilities where Calvary Stockholm meets every Sunday evening at 6pm.

"It was a very special time where we came together as a fellowship to welcome this group into the family of God. And also to see them publically declare the awesome work that Jesus has done privately in their hearts, as they now make Jesus their focus and desire to follow Him," says Joel Wickström.







The baptisms come as an extra encouragement to the Stockholm fellowship at a time when the ministry is continuing to grow and reach out to the people in Sweden's capitol.

"We are so grateful to the Lord for all He is doing and now we are going to have an opportunity to make this even more public as we are working on a website. Lord willing, we will get it up and running within the next couple of weeks. It is going to be calvarystockholm.se so keep an eye out for it," says Joel Wickström.
