ABC in focus - March 2021One of my greatest joys as a pastor is to baptize new believers. The moment of baptism is a clear statement of public identification with Christ, and it is especially significant within Hispanic culture. For many, it marks a break with tradition and a step into a living relationship with Christ. Several young people at Nueva Esperanza have recently expressed interest in being baptized, and as I write this, I am in the midst of meeting with them in order to prepare them for this step. This is truly an answer to prayer, but it is also a challenge. Baptism is not an end, but a beginning – the beginning of a new life in Christ. Would you pray for these new believers? Pray that they would be strengthened in their commitment. Pray that we as a congregation would be effective in discipling them. Pray for the Lord’s guidance as they grow. As always, thank you for your prayers and support of ABC Regional Hispanic Ministries.
