Hello Brothers and sisters,

 

baptism2

I wanted to let you and the Britton Road Church of Christ know about a baptism we’ve just had here in Dunedin.  Donghui Zou, who Aaron Knotts has been studying with for about two years, who I’ve partnered with in these studies since I’ve been here, was baptized into the body of Christ last Tuesday.  Praise God!  I’m excited to share in the rejoicing with you and thought you would enjoy seeing a few pictures of the birth of your new sister.  In her new life, she can use prayers for confidence, reassurance, and support as she does not have strong spiritual support from her physical family, but she now belongs to a larger family in Christ.  Thank you for being a part of the work here through physical and spiritual means.  I love and cherish you and all my family at the Britton Road Church of Christ 🙂

 

In Christ,

Leah

“Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  God has given us a new birth because of His great mercy.  We have been born into a new life that has a confidence which is alive because Jesus Christ has come back to life.  We have been born into a new life which has an inheritance that can’t be destroyed or corrupted and can’t fade away.  That inheritance is kept in heaven for you, since you are guarded by God’s power, through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at the end of time.” – 1 Peter 1:3-5
