It was with great joy and pride that John and Christine were invited to a baptismal service at Rev Deuli’s church on Sunday 18th December. Three children were being baptised, including Jenabel, the daughter of Emiliana (Gadlord and Jane Deuli’s firstborn). Emmy had asked us if we would be willing to be Jenabel’s godparents and we were delighted to accept.

The previous week we had all been worried about Jena, as she had suffered an asthma attack and a bout of malaria. As you can see she is now fit and well, and happy to be carried around Tanzanian style by Christine! The baptism was followed by a celebratory meal, attended by all the congregation. A great time was had by all!

 Rev Deuli is the Busega Scotland Project Leader and a pastor in the Charismatic Episcopal Church of Tanzania.
