(Toby runs along the river)
It was an exciting time to be able to witness seven people confessing their faith and obedience to follow Jesus. Most exciting was seeing three men being baptized into the church in Darhan. We went down by the river, shooed the cows out of the way and tried to find a place deep enough to immerse people. The sun was unrelenting.
Our friend Pieter Theron helped to walk the pastor through the baptismal service. The Baptismal candidates shared their profession of faith after the pastor gave a short sermon on baptism. Afterwards everyone prayed together God’s blessing on those who followed in this step of obedience.

What a wonderful blessing to witness 7 new lives come into the Kingdom of God. And to gain 3 much needed men as members of the body of Christ in Mongolia! We rejoice with you!

It was great to read about what is going on with you. It sounds like God is providing abundantly. The pictures are so good.
Praying for you daily and other times as you come to mind. I have your blue cord and bead on my kitchen cabinet handle where I see it when I take out my coffee cup each am.
Love, JoAnn
