Celebrating a baptism in South Africa
Bishop M. Biyela baptizes Khaya.
Brian and Kristen Konkol are ELCA missionaries in South Africa. They are coordinators for the South Africa based Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) program.
Friends:
On March 13, we celebrated Khaya’s baptism at the Lutheran Theological Institute in Pietermaritzburg.
I was honored to preach at the service, and the baptism was administered by Bishop M. Biyela of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa.
An additional blessing was the presence of all eleven of the South Africa-based Young Adults in Global Mission participants.
We thank God for such a wonderful experience of amazing grace!
With peace,
Brian
