Dual Baptism on Sunday, November 7, 2010
New Life's Refugee Ministry has blessed our congregation by allowing us to meet and learn from people all over the world. And, in some very special cases, to share in their challenges and triumphs as they navigate their way in this new phase of life; far removed from the refugee camps, war and persecution they suffered for so many years.
Emmanuel and Bingwa are both originally from Congo. Because of the war, they fled to refugee camps in Tanzania. Both young men spent much of their childhood in those camps.
Here, they are making a new life for themselves. Both Emmanuel and Bingwa accepted Christ before coming to the US, but had never been baptised. This past Sunday, with their new church family surrounding them, they took the step to publicly declare what was in their heart and be baptised by Pastor Kevin.
All who witnessed this day were blessed.
