Baptisms at Baraka


Last Sunday Graham and Nosikito baptised 6 women in a muddy watering hole near the church at Baraka. Most had never been under water before. The cows, who normally only share it with the goats and sheep, watched from the edge.

Nantosin, ok ready?

Esupat - Mmmm, I’m not sure about this...

An elderly ‘Koko’ called Naramasangwa decided she wanted to be baptised before she dies. Nosikito and Graham guided her carefully in.

And finally Niye was baptised by Nosikito who has supported her through some very difficult times.
