Bethel French Graduates 32 at Promotion Service

Story by LaTasha Hewitt

Members of the Bethel French church in Trenton, N.J., recently commemorated the completion of their Bible study class with an inaugural promotion service. The church honored 32 graduates who completed the Voice of Hope Bible lessons. Students completed one lesson each week over a span of 24 weeks. Upon finishing the series, pastors baptized those who were ready to publicly declare their faith in Christ and celebrated their achievement with a graduation service.

At the event, Speker Antoine, a lifelong educator and pastor, was awarded a special plaque for being the “godfather of the first promotion service of the Voice of Hope in Bethel French church.”

Abdonel Jean Philippe, Bethel French pastor, and the team members were delighted to host the service. “It was indeed a special day,” shares Luckson Innocent, an elder from Bethel French. “Our goal is to prepare each student to become a disciple to reach out to others to become a disciple.”
