Testimonies
Daniel was the youngest of our 11 baptismal
candidates. Each in turn was asked to explain why he or she wanted to be
baptised. Daniel's testimony oozed confidence and assurance |

Two Churches
While our Tete church organised this baptism, we
were joined by our Matundo congregation at which Joćo Cafuliza is the
pastor. We helped to plant Matundo some six months ago

What's it all
about?
Gregory preached on the meaning of
baptism for the benefit of our invited guests and for the curious
bystanders. The river is a public place so there were plenty of people
about |

Full Immersion
We follow Pentecostal tradition and
baptise believers by full immersion. This is a Biblical symbol of
Christ's death and resurrection, as well as a picture of the believer's
conversion |

Worship
You don't have to be inside a
church building to declare the praises of God. Our worship service made
for an unusual sight for those gathered by the river to bathe or wash
their clothes |

Discipleship
Baptising Jamie gave us particular
pleasure as we have seen him grow tremendously in faith over the past
year. Once shy and uncertain, he is now active in open air evangelism |
