The lady in pink is named Olfa. Here she is with her daughter and granddaughter. Olfa became a believer through a mass evangelism campaign sometime in the past, but she was not directed to a church that would teach her the Bible in a practical way so that she could grow as a Christ-follower. She got sucked into a crazy, money-grabbing religious cult that is very prevalent in South America. The first time she went to one of their services, they dunked her and started siphoning off her funds. After a few months of that her family encouraged her to seek out a real church. She came into contact with us through a local Christian radio station. They asked me to give her a visit. That was several months ago. Several weeks ago she mentioned that she would like to be baptized on purpose. This past Sunday, Olfa gave testimony of her faith in Christ. She understood why she was being baptized and gave a beautiful statement in words and actions of the joy of her new spiritual journey with the Lord.
On Sunday I started a new series of messages on intellectual and philosophical objections to Christianity. I am enjoying the preparation time studying apologetics. I hope that it is a blessing to the congregation and visitors as well. Please be praying with me about the series.
