This is Juan Rivera who got baptized this past Sunday. Juan is in a wheel chair because of a lame leg. I met Juan about a week ago and was able to lead him to Christ. When Juan was talked to about being baptized, he could hardly wait to get into the baptistery tank. He almost crawled into the tank he was so excited. We had a couple of guys helping him, but he wasn't going to be detoured from getting in. It was a great blessing to see someone so excited about obeying the Lord's command of believer's baptism. His wife and oldest son also got baptized today. James Chuol was baptized that morning as well. James is not pictured, but he is a man who my wife met last Summer and had the privilege of leading him to Christ. Then I came by the house and met his eight year old son and lead him to Christ. That was last July. At that time his eight year old son was in and out of the hospital because of a battle with cancer. Unfortunately, his son passed away on October 7th of this year. I was glad to see the entire family come to church for the first time today. Then Sunday night we had a wonderful addition to our church in the way of the Gaiser family. They joined by a transfer of membership from another church of like faith and practice. I am excited to see what the Lord will do with this wonderful family in our church. Praise God for families that love Christ.
