We had our bimonthly service at the
rehabilitation center this morning, I met a male senior that also from Taiwan,
as usual, after I chatted with him a little, bravely, I asked him do you want
to know more about our God, and do you want to be baptized becoming a God’s son
like us, become a Christian… and of course, I briefly told him about our God
and such, he answered all “yes” to those questions.
So I told the person who our
church been authorized to perform baptism, but to my surprise, she said that
she will not to baptize him today, instead, she said, next time when come here
again which is two weeks later.
Most of the residents at the
rehabilitation center can understand 100% our conversations, and depends upon
which of the part of their brain were impaired, some of them part of their body
cannot not move well, some can hardly talk well.
So, what are we waiting for? I
shared my experiences at other nursing home before with this particular person,
there were, not just one but couples of the nursing home residents that said
yes to baptism but not been baptized right away. Next time when they ready to
perform the baptism, those yes persons, refused to be baptized.
One time, my son said, do you guys
just take advantage of their situation? Like, they cannot go anywhere but stay in
the facility so they are easier to accept the Christianity. I am not wholly
agree with him, yes, their freedom are restrained physically but not mentally
or spiritually, right?
