In an act of faith and obedience, the Iglesia del Nazareno San Francisco, located in the Ecuadorian province of Chimborazo, celebrated baptisms on Sunday, 24 March.

The church, founded 41 years ago, has undergone a reorganization process in recent months. Pastor Pablo García shared joyously that after approximately a year of the reorganization process, seven brothers and sisters in Christ decided to take the critical step of faith and obey the command of Jesus.

The new members are Angela Tene, Rosa Reino, María Choto, Juan Pablo García, Jaime Guaña, Klever Sislema, and José Tene.

Rosa Reino, who grew up in the church, said, "Iglesia del Nazareno San Francisco is deeply grateful for the work that God is doing in this place."

She shared that these baptisms are a living testimony of the spiritual growth and renewal the church has experienced and are a sign of the new members' commitment to their faith and their desire to follow Jesus.

The congregation rejoices as they see how the church continues to grow and how the love and grace of God transforms lives.

"Each of these baptisms represents a new beginning in the spiritual path of these brothers," said Pastor García. "The church is committed to providing them with support and accompaniment in their walk with Christ."

The Iglesia del Nazareno San Francisco thanks God for his faithfulness. Garcia says they continue to serve and share the message of salvation in the community with humility and gratitude.
