Maia Joy's Baptism

"The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy"
The Lord has indeed done great things for us... yesterday we were blessed to present our little daughter before the Lord for baptism. What an amazing thing to be a part of God's family and to hear his promises to her. We pray that the Lord may give us strength and wisdom as we are responsible for her here on this earth. As friends of ours wrote on a card for her ..."May the Lord guard and keep you in his love, dear one. May you always know the sweet presence of your Saviour who graciously calls you His own. May His Word dwell richly in your heart." That is truly our prayer for our daughter.
Although our family was greatly missed yesterday we were able to celebrate with our church family as well as close friends here in Haiti who have become like family to us.
Here are some pics: our little family, Pastor Ben Hopp, OPC missionary, baptizing Maia Joy, the back of the church (quite a few blans :), fellowshipping after the church service.
Enjoy!
