Baptisms

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Matthew 28:18-20

Faith Baptist Church celebrated 8 baptisms! During the worship service, each person being baptized shared a testimony of how Christ has changed their lives. Pray for the people who heard the stories and do not yet have a relationship with Christ, that they would realize their need for a Savior!

Worshipping as a church together before baptisms.

Jesus commands us to go and make disciples... I'm excited about an opportunity to start discipling Palesa (below) who was just baptized.

I think one of the most exciting parts of this baptism service was seeing Given, our friend and fellow worker in the Lord, baptizing. God is working in Soweto and calling people to Himself! Pray for these new believers to continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the Gospel (Colossians 1:23).
