baptisms!

Yesterday, we got the chance to return to Najie (in Lomeyin) and watch as new believers from our storying group were baptized!  Men and women laid down in the shallow water, and Joseph, a believer from another area and one of Shannon’s leaders, baptized them!

The yellow thing on his head?  A child training toilet.

Afterward, Shannon and Joseph talked about what it means to follow Christ, we sang some songs (including “Acamit Ayong Kuwapa Yesu” or “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”), and then Shannon gave a Proclaimer to one of the men who was baptized so they can start listening to God's Word in their village!

Please pray for these new believers in Najie.  Ask God to give them more of a hunger for His Word and that they would grow in their knowledge of Him.  Pray also that they would be a light to others in their village, and pray for boldness to stand against any persecution.  PRAISE THE LORD!!!
