Glory to God, six new souls in Singapore. Particularly surprising is the name Longin – that is not common even at home. May the Lord give them perseverance in that fiery trial.

Nice to see six new faces in Singapore. The names are interesting – I didn’t expect to see Longin and Avenir on the list. Hope the heat doesn’t make it too hard for them to get to services.

Glad to see that six people were baptized in Singapore. The names Longinus and Avenir are indeed rare, especially in such a hot country. I wonder how they will now go to work in such heat.
