Baptisms in Gorom-Gorom

We had the great joy of baptising five local people recently in a rainy-season pool just outside of Gorom-Gorom, with the cows looking on, and children playing in the water. It was a wonderful day. Among the five who had decided to follow Christ were three friends:

• “B”, a blind Fulani leper, who is very courageous in sharing his faith
• “L”, an intelligent young Tamacheq girl who came top of her school year
• “O”, a Songhai man who uses our donkey cart to support his family

Knowing how much I enjoy "burying" old lives, Pascal asked me to help baptise them, and Pierre and Michel, two pastors from other churches also joined us. There was a great sense of unity and God's presence. Please pray for these five as they go forward with Christ in their new life in him.
