This mass baptism is a living testimony of the fruitfulness of Orthodox mission in Africa

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen! Yesterday, on Holy Saturday, as the Church mourned the death of Christ and prepared for His glorious Resurrection, the heavens rejoiced as 34 catechumens were baptized into the Holy Orthodox Church at Orthodox Mission Kenya. Today, on Pascha, we not only celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord, but also the spiritual resurrection of these newly illumined souls who have risen in Christ through the waters of baptism. They now walk in newness of life, clothed in the light of the Resurrection. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…” — Matthew 28:19 As St. Gregory of Nazianzus once said, “Baptism is God’s most beautiful and magnificent gift… a gift which no one can buy, but everyone can receive.” This mass baptism is a living testimony of the fruitfulness of Orthodox mission in Africa—a sign that the Church is alive, growing, and transforming lives by grace. Thank you to all who continue to pray for and support this sacred work. Truly, the mission is not only surviving—it is thriving. Glory to God for all things! #ChristIsRisen #Pascha
