In a country where
plurality of gods exists, it is always heart-warming to see people giving
themselves in radical surrender to the Lord. In such a case,
baptism becomes a defining moment in their spiritual journey.
At the
baptismal service, people are asked questions about whether they are doing this
of their own free will or being coerced into it. Other significant
questions regarding their faith and their commitment to follow Christ all the
way are asked of the candidate getting ready to be baptized.
In spite of the high
stakes involved and the possible rejection from the family, people from
different castes and tribes, get baptised with sheer joy. As we witness this glorious event, it is a
time of recommitment and evaluation of our own
faith, our commitment and our
own walk with the Lord.
Please join us in
praying that we would be able to care for the thousands of people coming into
the faith and also provide the resources for them to grow and become disciples
themselves. The task has only begun once
they come to the Lord and we need your continued prayer support to see them
become true heirs of the Kingdom.
