"It makes all the work worth it, doesn't it to see friends join the church where they will be fed and nurtured!!!"
-retired missionary in response to my Facebook posting about the new members
One of my dearest friends here who has touched my heart for these past three years was baptized and became a Christian yesterday. She and her youngest daughter. The baptism brought tears to my eyes. (Pictured in the middle of the picture.) When I left last term, she wasn't a Christian. Her youngest daughter (pictured on the left) has prayed for her for a long time. Please rejoice with me for her new life in Christ.
In total, there were five baptisms yesterday as well as a total of seven new members joining our church. The group included three missionary children who stood up to express their personal faith in Christ, two college students, and two members of the Mahathai community (a mother and her daughter), and also two infant baptisms.
Please pray alongside of me that they will continue growing in their faith and understanding how to share the Gospel.
