In Alliance churches around the world, many new believers were baptized on Easter Sunday. One of them is Tomiko, who started coming to Yachiyo Church in Japan two years ago seeking to learn about God. Because she is in her 90s, she had struggled to climb the steps of the church, which is on the third floor of an office building.
In answer to prayer, God has strengthened her physical body. During her baptism, “she pledged her love for Jesus before the congregation, promising to obey and worship the one, true God,” said Alliance missionaries Harry and Jane Landaw.
