Baptismal Service

Baptismal services are a time of rejoicing for our church.  We love seeing new people come to Christ.  It brings excitement to the entire congregation.

On June 29, four more of our believers followed the Lord in believer's baptism.

Kelita has such a sweet spirit.

Andres is the son of our church treasurer.

From left to right: Vicky, Elvira, Cristian, Edwardo.  Eduardo y Vicky taught Elivera and her son, Cristian their course on baptism.  We teach our new believers the importance and meaning of baptism beforehand.  We want them to know why they do what they do and make their decisions with convictions based on the Word of God.  It is our desire that they learn to follow the Bible and not just what a leader says.

This was the eighth time our church has had a baptismal service.  From left to right in front row: Kelita, Elvira, Andres and Cristian.  From left to right in back row: Pastor Pool, Stan, Pastor Edward.

Jesus brings true joy to the heart!

When Elvira began attending our church, she thought she was a Christian.  She soon found Christ after many careful presentations of the gospel.

Kelita was led to Christ by Pastor Pool and his wife, Etelvina.

Every time I baptize someone, I wonder what Christ will do in and though that new believer.  Andres is making many important and wise decisions in his life.  It is our prayer that he will follow Christ for the rest of his life.
