"About 2,000 young people have been baptized in a mass baptism in the Pacific Ocean. It is likely history’s biggest Adventist baptism of young people in the English-speaking world.
In total, 5,000 people were baptized at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea in a Sabbath morning beach service.
Then, just six hours after this giant baptism, at the last meeting in the series, another 1,000 young people also requested baptism. The evangelistic campaign was one of the largest in 2,000 years of Christian history. The first night, there were “only” 70,000 people there. But word-of-mouth made the attendance increase rapidly. About 150,000 attended the closing program, double the opening night's attendance. The meetings ran at the same time as the Olympic Games. And every night these Adventist meetings had more people in their stadium than there were spectators in any Olympic Games stadium on the same night." aSabbathBlog

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
