Shizuka's Baptism

Our friend, Shizuka Fujimoto, and her husband Kozo attended our home bible study for about 4 years. He was transferred to another city, Ogori, where they lived for 5 years, and also where they attended bible studies and fellowship. She confessed her faith in Christ while in Ogori.

He then returned to work in our area and after they moved back, she requested we start a weekly bible study for her. Last autumn we began to talk to her about baptism. Last week, after our lesson on the life of Philip (from Acts), I asked her if she was ready to get baptized. Her answer was, "anytime!".

So today, at noon, in the Nishiki River, with Midori (Mrs. Soileau) behind the camera, and Jazz, our border collie as another witness, I baptized Shizuka. Hallelujah!

Sorry about the glare!

In His Grip,
Kevin

What a wonderful series of photos capturing this event. I love how the dog just had to get in on the action too.

My eyes are brimming with tears of praise and gratitude. Please let our new sister in Christ know that a lady in Tennessee will be praying for her.
