During a conference in Wales, two brethren were confirmed and experienced a witness of the truth of the gospel. Additionally, at another location, a young man was blessed with the Spirit in much power and demonstration immediately after his baptism, leading him to testify to his associates.

In Their Own Words

“The two brethren have received testimonies of the truth and are zealously testifying unto others. The same day and hour, at another place, a young man also. He was baptized, and after baptism, the Lord blessed him with His Spirit in much power and demonstration. The young man straightway went amongst his old associates, and testified of the truth.— Millennial Star 16:17”
