These are a few photos of a Baptism of two of the people in the church that we attend. We had to go to a neighboring town to Baptize them because their is not a place for them to do it here. It is very hard for people in this culture to submit to Baptism because of the pressure from their families. They view Baptism as a denouncement of the Catholic faith. Some families have disowned their own family over this. These people have been saved for some time but finally are taking that leap of faith. It was such a blessing to see and we had a wonderful day of worship and fellowship with these fellow believers.

We did have a good time, and it was special to see these two baptized. Can't wait till we are able to baptize some new believers.
When I read your stories, I am reminded how much we take our faith for granted here. Our little trials seem so small next to what other Christians in other cultures experience! God has been so at work here at Shady Grove. We too are seeing people saved, Baptized, and joining the fellowship. It is really awesome to watch God work in such unexpected ways!
