Speaking of Baptism Attire

Postby paul » August 28th, 2009, 7:11 am

I received these photos today from our director
in Pakistan. I thought it might give some an idea
of culture. Please note that the men and women
arrive seperately and are not in the truck together.
This would avoid any type of accidental touching.
The men and women also sit on seperate sides
of the church during service. When I hear reactions
to the nudity of some remote areas, I always wonder
how we would feel if someone came and imposed
their traditions upon us.
(I am not speaking of the Gospel of Christ)

You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

Wow. That is incredible. People of all language groups and nations becoming servants of the master. I absolutely love it. It is nothing short of awesome.

I find myself thanking God for the privilege of baptizing people in the beautiful, clear Pacific Ocean instead of that muddy water. :shock:
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)
