Baptisms

After church this morning, Dad and I went to visit another church in the afternoon, way in the outskirts of Hyderabad. The pastor is a student at Dad's school. The church currently meets in the pastor's home, but they eventually plan to move nearby to another place, donated by a member. The church asked Dad to baptize 9 people. The baptism took place at another site in what appeared to be a watering hole. Singing filled the air as the congregants paraded to the baptismal and as each person was baptized. It was a touching, inspiring sight.

A ladder was needed to descend into the makeshift baptismal...
