In the water...

Well, here we go again...

The river, I think that is what I was talking about. Well, best I can tell, it was full of water. But there were other nefarious little buggies running, or swimming as it were, in that there water. As I think I mentioned, I was baptizing four men in the river near Murrambala, Mozambique, which is the central highlands area of the country. We had gathered to fellowship and preach for about 7 days. What a blessing the fellowship was with these precious preachers.

These men had never been baptized even though they were doing a great work for God. This was the first time that I had the chance to get them into water and I can tell you they were so excited to be obeying the Lord in baptism. I have baptized others before but never with so much enthusiasm. We stood on the creek bank and worshipped God together, raising a stone of Ebenezer to our Lord. What a blessing.

On July 30, we found it necessary to return to the US for a short period of time in order to reapply for our residency papers. Problems with the government and now with the sponsoring church have caused us to return until we can return to the work which God has called us to. Our sponsors were not able to take care of required paperwork for us so we are awaiting a letter of request from a new sponsor. We feel that this is nothing more than speed bumps on the road to victory. Praise the Lord!!

Thanks for tuning in. Until the next time...
