Pastor Tucker's Visit
October 29, 2006
 

The last Sunday the TEAM from Northeast Baptist Church was here, Pastor Tucker, Mary and I went to the Fundamental Baptist Church of Tanghin and then to the Fundamental Baptist Church of Boulwando for Pastor Tucker to have the opportunity to preach at these two small churches.

Arriving at 8 AM we begin to visit with Denis and solicit the villagers to attend our services. (They were told, inadvertently, that we would be staying and visiting in Tanghin from 9 AM to 3 PM.) The Naba graciously allowed us to meet under his large tree next to the road. Dominike brought Rasinbanin with his, as is his custom, to assist in the services. Here are a few pictures of the services in Tanghin.  Click any image for a closer look.

We first went to Denis’ home to visit with him and his family.

A couple of the “vieux” (old men) who do not normally “assist” but because we were meeting at the Naba’s house, they stayed for the preaching.

Denis has been the most faithful member of this work since his salvation the second service a year ago. He has been asking about his baptism for some time. So, as we were baptizing last Saturday in Boulwando Denis came up to participate in the services and to follow the Lord in believers’ baptism. (This was also the first time Dominike performed a baptism.)
