Out with the Old, In with the New!

Last Sunday we were privileged to baptize a number of our church members in the mid-afternoon down at our pond.  It was quite muddy and there was a slight rain, but many gathered around to watch as young and old stated aloud their faith in the saving power of Jesus. There is a lot of fear surrounding water here as most do not know how to swim. To commit themselves to going down into the water for baptism was an extremely courageous act and speaks of sincere faith. 
Those who are getting baptized gather around for encouragement and instructions before the baptisms begin.


Florence, steady obedience brings a true smile!
Biru, one of our David Family girls, getting baptized!!!

Love this smile and the joy of NEW LIFE!!!
Looking at her family father as he lovingly guides her
PURE JOY!!!

A special baptism moment, baptized by his Dad, his Grandpa and his good friend Uncle George!

The crowd sloshed through mud to see the baptisms

 She confessed her need for Jesus and stated that her faith is firmly placed in Him.

The baptism of one of the older men in the congregation--AWESOME!
