Baptism and Growth

It is always exciting to see how God moves in different people's lives. Here in Cofradia one of the big milestones in a persons faith is the step of getting baptized. On September 13th Pastor Gollo and Luis baptized 5 people in the sistern across the street from the church. Each of these 5 people have had to overcome significant obstacles and criticism to reach this point. Jasmin, for example, has been waiting for more than a year for her parents permission to get baptized, Beto left behind an alternative lifestyle and is feeling the rejection of his friends, and Isaac is a brand new believer who recieved Jesus at a recent youth camp.

The Sunday after the baptism we had communion at church. Before serving communion Gollo invited anyone who had not asked Jesus to be their Savior to pray and recieve Him. Three people; two ladies from Arrayanes and one from Santa Fe made the decision and became part of God's family!

It is awesome seeing God work and transform lives. Please be praying for these 8 people, for their encouragement and continued growth.
