Baptismal service in Kingereka

Our Sunday service went very well, thank you for praying for us. I preached on our responsibility to witness to others, salvation comes by way of Jesus, and what baptism represents from the story of Philip and the Eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. Several times in my message I emphasized that baptism is only an outward picture of what was done in your soul when you got saved. The people in our area have been taught that baptism is a means of salvation- a way of washing away your sin. But the Bible teaches that it is a testimony of your faith in Christ.

 After the message we all went outside to baptize 4 people. While we waited for them to change Filimoni came to me and told me that one of the ladies, Dina was requesting to be saved. Apparently, she had planned to be baptized but at some point during the message realized that she needed to be saved first. Paige Wagoner took her aside and led her through the scriptures and helped her receive Christ as her savior!

I then baptized her a few minutes later. What a blessing!

My Swahili was a little rough but evidently, God used it anyway. I am so glad that the strength and ability to do his work comes from him and is not dependant on my own ability.

Please pray for our Saturday Soccer club. 

Pray that it will continue to grow in scope and that souls would be saved during the Bible lessons.
Pray Jay and I- we have been suffering from some major sinus headaches the past few days.
Pray for next weeks services and sermon.
