Three Al-Masih Gambian AG churches joined together for the privilege of baptizing 25 followers of Christ.
We have been here a little over a year and how quickly our lives have intertwined with the peoples'. It was exciting and emotional witnessing our friends make this bold proclamation of faith on the shores of The Gambia. In this group were:
- 4 students from Joe's New Believers Sunday School class.
- 1 of which was our Mandinka tutor when we first arrived.
- 1 of which is the young man we have been discipling who is also our tailor.
- 6 were from the village church we did mid-week bible study with in the spring.
- From this church's group, 1 is a dear friend of Cyndi's who is the pastor's wife.
- And lastly, several of those baptized were students we have taught at the Training Center.
Our team leaders came here 5 years ago by themselves. They have followed the leading of the Holy Spirit and God has used them to build a Church, a school, a foundation, a missionary team and most importantly The Kingdom.
It was a glorious day. We sang, we cried, we rejoiced and we witnessed. As several beach goers stopped us and asked about what we were doing, we shared that we are followers of Isa Al-Masih, Jesus Christ the Anointed One.
