Four new believers brave public baptism

By Katey Hearth

Jordan (MNN) — Four new believers in Jordan just took an unprecedent-ed step of faith: they were baptized.“It was just a beautiful, beautiful ceremony,” shares Samuel of Redemptive Stories. “They each got up and told their stories about how they had come to faith in Christ. We worshipped together and then had the opportunity to baptize them.”This baptism was sig-nificant for a couple of reasons. First, each new believer comes from a Muslim background.Secondly, “When someone crosses over from the oth-er side into Christianity, there’s a big gap in oppor-tunities for them but there’s also a gap in security,” Samuel explains. “I’ve been in Jordan for a number of

years and this was the first time that this sort of event occurred.”“It takes unique, special sit-uations, circumstances for them to feel ready and to take that step of faith.”In Jordan, Christians from Muslim backgrounds face more pressure than those who have a Christian lin-eage. Usually, persecution comes from family mem-bers and neighbors who present only one option: forget Jesus and come back to Islam.“Communal pressures and familial persecution is real-ly what a lot of these believ-ers face, much more so than state persecution. That can be physical beating, kicking him out of the home, losing jobs – which happens regu-larly.”Next steps, Public baptism is indeed a are and signifi-

cant step for believers from a Muslim back-ground. However, it’s only the first step of an ongoing journey of faith. Pray for these new believers as they learn what it means to fol-low Christ.Along with diving into God’s Word, the new Christians will learn “what it means to be a believer, what our identity in Christ now means; there’s a lot of things that have to be ‘un-learned’ from their back

ground teaching,” Samuel explains.“For a Muslim, there are specific rules about how to use the bathroom; there are specific rules about every part of life that are part of their religion. [Our role will be] to teach them that in Christianity, we’re a lot more free about these things. Those are much more cultural for us, rather than taught to us by a re-ligion.”Balancing passion and dis-cernment will be a chal-lenge, he adds.“Pray on their behalf as they face these difficulties; the frustration of wanting to tell others but – because of the negative effects that could happen to them – there’s fear,” Samuel says.“I want you to pray for boldness for them.”For more information about Mission Network News, contact:Mission Network NewsPO Box 2211, Naperville, IL 60567www.mnnonline.org
