Singing at baptism
We have enjoyed singing after the baptism and found that it is a great witness to the people passing by, some even stopping to listen and watch. 
Alex gave her testimony, which is similiar to the Beutlers and to Tinas.
The Germans are having to do some deep "soul-searching" to come to terms with baptism vs. man's tradition.
Alex's parents and grandmother were present and supported their daughter/granddaughter, even though they do not fully understand why she was baptised again.
Alexandra's Baptism
About a month after the Michi and Magda baptism in May, Alexandra Buchhop was moved by the Holy Spirit to be baptized in June (it was a little warmer:)Here she is dressed in black before the baptism.
The dark clothing represents her old flesh.
Next to her is Michael, her special friend visiting from Canada.
After the baptism she changed into light colored clothing to represent the new nature in Christ.
There were several people there who wondered about what she was doing. Some wonder if we are a cult or sect.
Baptisms cont'd
Magda and Michi each gave a brief testimony about how the Lord used His word, others, prayer and finally lifes challenges to bring them to the point of obedience in baptism.Their story was an encouragement to all.
We have seen our Lord to much in the life of this beautiful couple.
They are a tremendous blessing to Rock Berlin.
Baptisms Continue
In our Germanator Email updates we have written about the battle with tradition in Germany.For ex., many believers have not followed Christ in baptism because they believe their child baptism and confirmation or first communion is equal to believer baptism.
God has been changing the hearts of the Rock Berlin believers.
In this pic, Pastor John Goering is explaining baptism while Michi and Magda Beutler wait to be baptized. It was an awesome day!
