Summer '26 Missions Trip: Baptismal Blessings

This summer in Gambella, our mission's team had the honor to host the Pastor’s training and orphans program which has been a huge blessing for everyone here at ARM! We're grateful for so many highlights such as the anointed prayer line of believers, dozens of testimonies of God’s miraculous work, and Teaching the powerful Book of Acts!

A big highlight of this event was our baptismal ceremony (see photos below). We ended with a baptism of 9 folks from the Pastor's Conference and then 30 dear orphans from the school. Many of them have traditions where you can’t be baptized without 6 months of classes. What amazing joy was felt in those baptismal waters! The Book of Acts show multiple times where people are saved and immediately baptized thus receiving the Holy Spirit. We put it into practice and God SHOWED UP!! We had those who got saved and then baptized almost immediately. God honored His Word.
