A BLESSED SUNDAY AFTERNOON

It is always convicting to hear the message from Pastor Abraham from India, and this Sunday was no exception.
First, Abraham shared about this year's extreme persecution in the state of Orissa, where Christian were massacred and villages burned. Twenty-five of the churches that Abraham had established were destroyed. It was a sobering account, however, Abraham gave first hand testimony of the unwavering faith of the Orissa believers in the face of continued pressure from the militant Hindus to convert or be attacked. He then blessed us with one of his excellent lessons from John's account of the Samaritan Woman at the Well. It was an edifying afternoon.


We then "gathered at the river" to share a joyful experience, the baptism of Seth Nail.

I was very honored to be there when Seth was born, and even more honored that I was able to witness his "rebirth".
