Exciting news! We have 13 new brothers and sisters for the Eternal Kingdom!!! On Mother's Day, they were Baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit by our Associate Pastor Paco. They have been attending classes leading up to the Baptism with our Pastor Justo and Paco. They were instructed on the fact that the Baptism is their public declaration and symbolism to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is very important that they understand the importance of making a commitment of faith in Christ Jesus. They will continue to be discipled and taught in prayer, studying the Bible, understanding spiritual gifts and understanding the trials of a Christian life. We love that God has cleansed them white as snow!!!
Our Prayer~God of Grace and Mercy, we give you our humble and heartfelt thanks for our Saviour Jesus Christ, who died for sins, was buried and was raised on the third day. We ask you to accept these, your children, as they come to you in baptism. We pray that they may be united by faith with Christ in His church, and receive forgiveness of sins, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, as you have promised. May they walk with Christ throughout life. Keep them strong in faith, in hope and in love. Pour out on them the rich gifts of your grace, that they may serve you in the building up of your Church. Protect them in all the trails and temptations of this life, and, at the end, give the precious gift of eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!
Acts 2:38-39 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call."
