Easter Day Baptisms at FEMO


It is tradition in Burkina (as it was in the Early Church) to baptise on Easter Day. Here, Eleanor commits herself to seeking relationship with God. Earlier, one Burkinabe pastor kidded us: don't let the person's head out of the water until they've seen Jesus! Well, we won't go that far. In Burkina, immersion baptism is the practice of all of the Protestant (Evangelical) churches.
