Jordan (Mission Network News) — Four new believers in Jordan just took an unprecedented step of faith: they were baptized.
“It was just a beautiful, beautiful ceremony,” shares Samuel of Redemptive Stories. “They each got up and told their stories about how they had come to faith in Christ. We worshipped together and then had the opportunity to baptize them.”
This baptism was significant for a couple of reasons. First, each new believer comes from a Muslim background.
Secondly, “When someone crosses over from the other side into Christianity, there’s a big gap in opportunities for them but there’s also a gap in security,” Samuel explains. “I’ve been in Jordan for a number of years and this was the first time that this sort of event occurred.”
