Baptisms in Beirut!

Last week, our brothers and sisters in Beirut, Lebanon, baptized a 75-year-old man, and also a new sister!  Please continue to pray and to plan to give to the special contribution next year for the Middle East.  Your prayers and your sacrifice make miracles like these baptisms possible!  Currently, Beirut is planning to host the 2007 Leadership and family conference for the Middle East Disciples, August 8-12.
