On Saturday we travelled down to Ohrid to celebrate the baptism of new believers and the birth of the church there! Our teammates, Brian and Mandy Davis (see their link to the right) have been living in Ohrid for the last year and a half. It has been great to watch how God is working in and through them and we were so happy to have the chance to share this day with them. A married couple, Hriste and Emilija, were baptized in the beautiful lake. Their testimony of how God saved them was great to hear. We had about 15 folks from our church in Skopje present, a team of volunteers from North Carolina, a couple of non-believers from Ohrid, to witness this great event. Brian and Mandy's neighbors were able to look and listen over the fence!
We also shared the Lord's Supper together, a time of worship with our new brother and sister. Afterwards, we had a good meal together and enjoyed just visiting and getting to know folks better. We were after midnight getting home that night, but it was well worth the fatigue to have enjoyed that day together.
Rejoice with us as we celebrate this event and pray that there will be many more in the city of Ohrid! Check out the pictures below.

Hey Brian and Mandy! It is great to see how the Lord is working through your effort and ministry in Ohrid. I am sure your excitement grows through the salvation of just one, but to be blessed by a family coming to Christ is reason to rejoice. We are excited for you and will pray that God continues the work He has started through you.
Keep Serving Him,
Wade Kelley (Your Texas Brother)
