Wait! We don’t have to.
We made it to the baptism!
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Feel free to celebrate with us as we thank the Lord for these Iski brothers and sisters! Just over one year ago, these dear friends told us that they were clueless as to what the message of the Bible was. They were confused about life, and terrified of death. And yet, yesterday, after sitting under the teaching of God’s Word for a year, in their mother-tongue, 83 individuals were able to stand in a river, and declare to those gathered on the bank that they have been saved by the blood of Christ, and are children of God!
What a truly beautiful day!
Please continue to pray for these believers who have publicly declared their faith, as well as those others who are still struggling to fully understand the message of the cross and the meaning of baptism.
*With a huge nod to the children’s book, “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.”
It’s wonderful to see this baptism ….. a year goes by so quickly and you’ve already got that far!! Blessings,
No greater joy! We serve an incredible God and rejoice with the faithful servents who one day said, “here am I, send me.”
Fantastic and glory to God!!
This is such a clever post! You all don’t know me, but I am so proud of you! You all are doing awesome work. Prayers for you.
I love that the Iske men joined in by baptizing their own people! So wise, and so well-thought out! Great job, guys!
SO blessed to be a part of all this!
So exciting to see God’s working.
Praise the Lord!! Rejoicing with you on the baptisms in “our Iski church
Oh what a glorious day! Praise God!
Love to read of your adventures and what God is doing there.
