Angels Are Singing!

John Smith with a blog post:

Shush ... Be very quiet ... can you hear them? Angels are singing chorus of rejoicing as another precious soul has been added to Christ. Elijah Koroma was baptized into Christ this evening in the bath tube of our hotel room.

Elijah is a wonderful young man with a great story. He was raised a Muslim, but as a teenager left the Muslim faith because he saw the falacy of that faith. He did so even though his parents objected to it. Elijah said he had to obey God, not man. He later became a member of the Anglican Church and was sprinkled there thinking he had been baptized.

Last week Bro Jerry Lewis was walking near the house where Elijah lives and saw Elijah reading his Bible. Jerry asked him, "Do you understand what youare reading?" Elijah said no and Jerry began to study with him. Last week Jerry brought Elijah to our room for a study that went very well. Since that study Elijah has attended nearly every study at Priscilla Street (with the exception of when he was working and one day he was sick).

Elijah came to our room this evening for a study and brought a backpack with him. Being the perceptive individual that I am I never noticed the backpack. We studied for about 1/2 hour and I asked elijah if he was thinking of being baptized. He said,"No I am not thinking about baptism I want to be baptized." Thus, we wasted no time getting our tub ready and baptized him into Christ. As wigh the eunuch he went on his way to work, rejoicing!

It has been a great day. May the Lord be praised!!
