She expounded on the four basic truths and the Community’s praise and worship. As TLF spiritual mother, she keenly displayed her love, care, and affection. Sor even cracked jokes, shared funny situations, disclosed her old and renewed life through a lifetime of service to the Lord. Lastly, the participants remained actively engaged throughout the seminar.
Finally, Sor performed the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to eight (8) new members, who became emotional and had tears in their eyes. Sor urged them to repent, commit to God, and pray unceasingly for the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
To God be the Glory!
