Baptisms!!!!

Over the last three weeks we have had the joy of watching 7 new believers baptized! What an awesome time! One of the one's not pictured is a sweet young girl who's 8 months pregnant! What an exciting time in her life...and what bravery to slide down the muddy slope to get into that murky pool of water! Yikes! But for them, when they are asked to step out in obedience to Christ...it's worth it!

These pictures are from one of our Bible Study groups. They live, literally, in the middle of no where! We drive out to their "farm" each week and have been meeting with them for about 6 months now. They live in such poverty and have access to nothing. To get into town they either ride the donkey, or walk. And believe me...it's a LONG walk! It's been a blessing to be part of their community and start to build friendships with them.

We have had at least 6 people from within our other Bible Studies accept Christ since then, so I'm sure we'll have more "dunkin" to do in the near future! :) Please pray for these new believers, that they would keep strong in their new faith and turn to the Lord for all their needs!

Some of the sweet and crazy girls we love on each week!
They keep us on our toes!


When the Son sets you free...you are free in deed!

Hey Sarah!
That is such great news :-) We had the same kind of thing going on a Summit last Sunday. We had 140 people baptized between our 4 campuses! How awesome!
