CJ Gets Baptized!


One of the proudest moments of a mother's life is watching her child come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ!  Our son, CJ, accepted Christ as his personal savior a while back. Since then he has truly transformed and shows the fruits of the Spirit in his life.  Yesterday, in front of his friends and family here in Malawi, he made that decision public by following Jesus' example through believers baptism! As an extra added blessing Jeremy was the one to perform the baptism!  Praise God for the work He is doing in the lives of our family and the people here at Rainbow!

And all God's people said...."AMEN"!

Tomorrow begins the short term mission teams trip home.  What a blessing and breath of fresh air they have been to those on the ground here.  Their energy, enthusiasm, and hunger for Christ was contagious!  Praise God for their sacrifice and the seeds that were planted this past week.  Please continue to pray for us as we continue the work that the Lord is doing here in the Warm Heart of Africa!



Baptism at Rainbow! (part 1)

What a wonderful week we've had here at Rainbow!  Brother Scotty's team has been here for the past week ministering in neighboring villages doing VBS during the day and preaching revivals at night.  Five different villages were ministered to during this week and it's been a life transforming time for both the Malawians and the missionaries.  Praise God for His work here!  To hear the stories and testimonies of all those involved has truly been a blessing.  God is working and we're happy to get to see some of the work and fruit!  

Saturday we had a big day.  Rainbow and her two church plants came together as one in observance of baptism, the Lord's Supper, and deacon ordination.  Held on the football pitch (soccer field) here at Rainbow all of the people from the surrounding villages and churches turned out for this blessed event. 

Over 50 new believers were baptized!  Praise God!!!
