Signs & Wonders – Baptisms… …and weird reptiles

         During our morning daily personal devotions time I took the step of insisting that the deaf  students; Saisa and Aisha came  together with Philliam (deaf staff member) and I for more teaching on the Bible. We studies Matt  Ch 3:1 – 5:16 over a period of three weeks. Whilst we had received good teaching on repentance and forgiveness of I did not feel that the ladies had fully understood it; so I believed that these weeks of study during morning devotions could be of help to them. It was. Slowly they committed to their own quiet times.

         My high-light was when Aisha once again asked for baptism. I knew this was coming from her own heart. The heavens opened and it poured with rain as Aisha and two other students Ann and Rebecca took the step to be baptised in the Labone River. Hallelujiah. Climbing the mountain to the less reached peoples group was so exciting. Seeing the unspoiled natural environment; monkeys;  beautiful butterflies;  weird  little reptiles in all  their glory was another highlight to us as were appreciated the beauty of God’s creation. Then crossing the river was a delicate procedure, the river was where we got our water and our place for bathing. It was primitive but wonderful. Helen
