Another Baptism
Yeah... I was blessed with another opportunity to water baptise someone. Eben (the guy I am baptising) was recently led to God by John (one of the guys that I am discipling). Basically in a round about way (without trying to mess with anybodies theology) it means that spiritually Eben is my grandson.
I guess that’s what happens when your church comprises mostly of students and it only takes 3 to 4 years for a new generation come forth from your church. You might ask yourself, what happens after 3 years to these people? Well… if you are not familiar with Grahamstown then let me enlighten you. Grahamstown currently exists purely because of Rhodes University. People come here, study and then leave. That is why I am “fathering” John who is just 2 years younger than me, who is in turn “fathering” Eben who is just 2 years younger than John.
One of the things that I love about my church is how effectively we have raised up and sent out leaders into the nations of the world over the last 10 years.
