BAPTISMS: May 26th

We have been teaching on the need to follow the Lord in this first step of  faith for quite awhile.  We have also been working on securing our own baptismal pool.  God blessed when I spied one sitting in a back yard and persisted until an answer was given as to its availability with a decent price of about $250.00 U.S.  Crossroad Baptist Church helped us purchase it and with a little work and preparation it was put back into service for the Lord.

We have planned a special day for each final Sunday of the month for the summer and although we had to be out of town the week previous we were able to plan to have a baptism service for that same Sunday.  We had seven that had voluntarily stepped forward for baptism and four of those were able to follow through.  The other three will now be able to follow through within a few hours notice - just enough time to fill up the baptistery.

The four baptized were Jesus and his wife Francisca, Marisol and Alonso.  Alonso's wife was all ready saved and baptized and Marisol's husband is also saved but needs to take this personal step in his faith as well.  I stress the importance, teach on the why and plead with each to take this step but leave the drawing to the Holy Spirit.  God is at work and we gratefully praise Him!
