World Mission Society Church of God members from throughout the Southwestern Region, together with loved ones, gathered in Riverside County on March 19, 2023 for a special concert in preparation for the 2023 Passover.
The Passover is the core teaching of the New Covenant, which Jesus established at His first coming and is held once a year on the 14th day of the first month according to the Biblical calendar. Throughout the world, the Church of God celebrates the Passover, which allows us the forgiveness of sins and gives us eternal life (John 6:53-64). We can especially see the love of God contained in the Passover of the New Covenant when Jesus told his apostles, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15).
Following the example of Christ, the Church of God hosted a night filled with love and joy through many beautiful performances. Choir and orchestra members gathered in unity to show the love of God through music and special videos. After the concert, a special meal was prepared with the love of Heavenly Mother, and guests were shown more details about the Passover through the Bible. Many newcomers felt so moved by the soothing, angelic music and positivity all around. As a result, 29 souls were baptized and received a new life.
Passover Concert Testimonies
Jesus told his disciples, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). The Church of God is carrying out this mission throughout 175 countries, and in only half a century the Church of God has grown to become over 3.3 million members.
After being baptized according to the words of Jesus, the newly baptized members were so moved and touched to the heart by the whole event. One new member said, “I don’t have words to express how marvelous the brothers of the Church of God are.” In addition, another new member stated, “Everyone was very welcoming, it felt like a second home to me,” and, “The Church of God has the truth.”
Everyone who attended the event, whether in person or online, truly felt the love of God. We believe that very soon all Heavenly Father and Mother’s children will come back into Their loving arms, and we can return to the glorious kingdom of heaven overflowing with joy and happiness day after day.
