Four souls shall be baptized this month in the German Union at the IMS – two souls – Brother Nikolai from Ukraine together with his wife - on Sabbath, July 12, 2025, and further two souls in the second half of July 2025, Pastor Arthur Becker confirmed during the public Christian conference of the German Union at the IMS, which was held from June 27 to 29, 2025 and was transmitted via YouTube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxigfTYrM1M. One of the baptisms will be performed in Mosbach, Germany, which is the home of German Union’s headquarters as well.
Mosbach, a town in the north of the federal province Baden-Wuerttemberg, located approximately 35 km east of Heidelberg, has a population of approximately 25,000 distributed in six boroughs: Mosbach Town, Lohrbach, Neckarelz, Diedesheim, Sattelbach and Reichenbuch, and is part of the conservation area Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park and the UNESCO Bergstrasse-Odenwald Nature Park. With the division of the lands of King Rupert in 1410, Mosbach became the capital of a small principality known as Palatinate-Mosbach as the inheritance for his son Otto I.
