Easter Sunday Baptism

"And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." (Acts 2:47)
 "There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over the ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent!"  (Luke 15:7)

For one Roma mother  of six children, widowed five years ago, there was great rejoicing as a her dream of being baptised was finally realised on Easter Sunday.          

Days later our weekly fellowship grew as more began to turn their back on smoking and seek the power of God in their weakness.   18 of us gathered in a tiny room to pray, to laugh, to celebrate, to weep.  We went out into the back garden and tried to find some treasure hidden in the ground, "the Kingdom of Heaven" which when found is worth selling everything for.  We came back inside to pray in the Kingdom into each of our lives and recognise that even in poverty, love is more important than money, freedom more important than homes, and a community of love more important than nuclear families.  Even in the most desparate circumstances the risen Jesus makes himself present.

Next week we begin in Luton Roma Church on the corner...
