September Baptism Recap
This past Sunday we had the chance to celebrate the baptisms of Joan, Melissa and Ping Hay. It was a wonderful time to see just how good God really is and how he pursued each one of them so personally. Joan shared her testimony on Friday and then during the main Sunday service at Gracepoint, telling us of how her selfishness led her to see her need for God and just how grateful she was that Jesus came to die for her sins. It’s hard to believe that God could so thoroughly change her in less than a year. Afterwards, our 3 IGSM members and 10 others from college and Praxis were baptized amidst a lot of applause, cheers, and congratulations.
We took a lot of pictures, bestowed gifts on them, and then headed to Buffet Town to have banana splits (ice cream). Ping Hay and Melissa shared their testimonies with us there, and we again saw how much God wanted them to be saved even though they each told stories of how they responded to God, wandered, and it was there that God really met them. We ended our time by having different brothers and sisters come and share about each of the baptism candidates. Sharon summed up the testimonies well when she said that these 3 are seemingly so attractive and competent and the best of their societies, and yet God met them each in their brokenness, for which we could all thank God for rescuing each of us in our brokenness too.
If you missed it, here are the pictures–remember to say congratulations to them!

Gracepoint Commissioning Service Recap
This past Sunday (5/1), we had Gracepoint’s Commissioning Service at Gracepoint Berkeley. As you may be aware, we will be planting three Gracepoint churches this year at the University of Minnesota, UC Riverside and at UC San Diego. Our very own Jesse and Mia will be leaving for San Diego and Minnesota, respectively. The vision of Gracepoint is to have “an Acts 2 community in every college town” (and one day we hope to have an IGSM in every college town). Each of the members on the church planting team (including Mia and Jesse) shared their thoughts on how they caught this vision and a snapshot of Gracepoint that they would like to replicate. Check out the video at Gracepoint Videos and see Mia and Jesse.
Congratulations Daniel and Hui!
April 25, 2010- Our own Daniel and Hui got baptized with 20 others at Gracepoint Berkeley after becoming Christian in 2008 at the IGSM Winter Retreat. We rejoiced together as we recounted how God personally answered and addressed their questions and doubts, how God led Hui’s parents to salvation, and how God has continued to mold and shape them as they help other people to know Him. It was amazing to see their long journey and how God used the Bible, other people, and different examples from their lives to show them about His character especially through Daniel’s job search and PhD admission. I was personally awed to recount their journey from when they first joined the IGSM English Class many years ago. If you missed Hui’s testimony, you can read it here at Gracepoint Stories. You can also take a look at the pictures.
