On February 9th, we had our first two baptisms of the year. Last year we had eight, even with the school year being shortened by covid, so let's see how this year will go! Our headmaster, Godfrey Mngoma, baptized two boys this afternoon: Isack Jeremiah, who is in form four and will graduate later this year, and Johnson, who is in form two. These were the first two students to be baptized in our new baptistry built into the base of our school bell tower! The bell tower was completed last year; the first baptism in it was the son of the school driver, Deo, but he's still in primary school.
Below, Mr Godfrey takes Johnson's confession while all of his friends and classmates gather around.
One of the students was taking the photos on Mr Godfrey's phone, so while waiting for them to enter the baptistry, he took a few picture of the students around--I had to laugh when I saw Isack Peter (not the Isack being baptized; Isack is a popular name and we have three of them) being dramatic in the background. 😂
So, we have two new brothers in Christ today, Isack and Johnson!
