First Peruvian Baptisms!
One of the best days that I have ever had in Peru was 3 Sundays ago, when I had the privilege of baptizing my first set of Peruvians. I baptized John, Nicchola, and Sarah. It was a beautiful day. All of them had at least one family member present, and 3 families of neighbors came to watch as well. It was so amazing because each one shared their testimony and the gospel to their non-believing family members and neighbors. They explained that only through Jesus can you be saved and that baptism is just a symbol showing what Jesus has done for them and to show others that they are followers of Him. I spoke at the beginning explaining the significance and meaning of baptism. It was such a joyous time for me to get to baptize my 3 main leaders. After that we had a small reception in my house. Unfortunately, I cannot post many pics on my blog for confidentiality reasons for John and Sarah. I will post pics of Nicchola getting baptized. It was a great day. We are hoping to baptize about 13 more this month that are new believers as well!
