Baptism

It was an exciting day when we baptisted four of our new converts.
They were more excited than we were. And that is exciting when we are joyful and happy in following Christ.  It is our prayer that they continue in their walk of faith and obedience.

María Paz es a teenage who has given her heart to the Lord.  She faces a lot of challenges.  María Paz is the only one saved in her family.  We are praying for her parents and older brother.

Ruth shows her joy as she holds her little girl.  Ruth was a single mother when she received the gospel. 

From left to right are: Maruja (Ruth's mother), Elena (Ruth's daughter), Mariio and Irma (father and sister).  We are praying for the salvation of Mario and Irma.  Each new convert has many family members who are not saved.  Ruth's mother is a believer.

Abraham is on the left and his sister is on the right.  Both are medical doctors.  Abraham just got his degree and is now doing his one year of required medical service in a rural section of Peru.  Martha (center) is their mother.  Her husband was one of our most faithful men.  He went to be with the Lord a few months ago.  This is one family that is seeking the Lord with all their heart.
