On Sunday afternoon members of our church gathered together to celebrate two baptisms! For this occasion we rented the swimming pool of a local high school. Larry and Péter officiated at the ceremony. Following some introductory words about the significance of baptism, the entire gathered congregation recited the Apostles' Creed. Then attention turned to Éva and Misi, the two people who were to be baptized. They both positively affirmed their faith in Jesus Christ and their desire to be baptized.
Larry, Péter, Éva, and Misi then entered the pool. Misi was the first to be baptized, and when he came up out of the water his face reflected the joy that he felt inside. Éva was next, and her face also expressed that same joy. Following the baptisms Péter prayed for each person to receive the Holy Spirit.
After everyone had changed into dry clothing, the gathered group sang a song of praise that echoed beautifully throughout the hall. And then everyone offered their congratulations!
It was a wonderful Sunday afternoon!
Great report! So excited to see how God is blessing you all in Budapest.
