• You have two new sisters!

  
  

  Merlin and Heidi Ponna put on Christ in baptism and are now part of our family in Tartu and around the world. It was an amazing thing to witness. Brandi spoke to them, reminding them of what this meant to their new life. Then Peter and Brandi baptized both of the girls at the same time.

  
  

  They went in the water as physical sisters and came out of the water as sisters in Christ!

  
  

  

  
  

    

  
  

  After their baptism, we went back to the Bible Study Center, had refreshments and lots of wonderful fellowship. The smiling faces of everyone present was testimony of the joy that Christ brings when the Kingdom welcomes His children in.

  
  

  Merlin told us that when she woke up this morning, she said to herself, "today I will die". Today, she did die and now she and Heidi begin a new life in Christ. We can't wait to see what God will do with these precious new babes of His.

  
  

  We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.      Romans 6:4
