Baptism at the river that crosses the road to the airport 6 km from home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Remember the story from Acts 8?\u00a0 “As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water. Why shouldn\u2019t I be baptized?’\u201d<\/p>\n

It was more pre-planned than that on Sunday afternoon here in Yaounde.\u00a0 We’d known about it for at least a week.\u00a0 On this rainy afternoon several vehicles caravaned from the neighborhood where we live to a river 6 km away and parked along the side of the very busy road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We gathered at the river to hear testimony from 14 young people.\u00a0 Most of them were children of missionaries, and\u00a0two Cameroonians who attend the International Christian Church of Yaounde.\u00a0 Dispite the cool drizzle, quite a crowd gathered to support and cheer them on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBeing children of missionaries doesn’t guarantee salvation.\u00a0 Each person chooses whether to follow Jesus or not.\u00a0 Praise God these young people made a public (very public, judging by the number of passing cars, trucks and loaded busses) confession of faith in Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Please remember to pray\u00a0for the children of missionaires – that each one would choose to follow Jesus and cultivate a growing relationship with him.<\/p>\n
