Baptisms

Pattaya Beach

This past week we celebrated with 7 students from the dorm as they were baptized as an outward sign of their commitment to follow Jesus with their whole life. 

Here's a picture summary:

The bus ride was crowded, but we had fun eating snacks (wrapping a seaweed snack around your front teeth makes everyone laugh) and singing songs.

Our first stop was Pattaya City Hall where we filled about 2,500 bags with a Bible (in Thai), a note, and a cookie.  The bags were for an event, Pattaya Praise.  We stayed for a time of worship then headed to the beach.

  

 We enjoyed a lunch of chicken and sticky rice on the beach then played games in the water for a while. 

When it was time for the baptisms, we read a few passages from the Bible before praying and heading to the water.

Praise God for changed lives, faithful followers, and a loving community!
