I'm so happy to witness Ah Ma's water baptism on 23 August 2008 at East Coast Beach at the ripe old age of 75. Ah Ma's testimony was simple - because most of my daughters are Christians. Acts 16:31 - Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household.
At first, Ah Ma was hoping to be excused going into the water. However, when the Pastor encouraged her to get her herself all wet. The water baptism is a symbolic burial, by which the new Christian publicly declares they have died, and are now beginning a new life, in Christ. The Greek for the word ‘baptizo’ means to immerse, plunge, dip, or bury in water. It excludes “sprinkling”, unless really sick.
All of a sudden, she whipped out her bag of clothings,
2 sets of towels and even a pair of slippers ..... hmm very well-prepared. All she needs is a little encouragement.

Got to know that it's Ah Ma's first time in the sea.
Wah, so cold & wet!
GOOD!
"A good dip" or was it "good gal"?
The pom pom supporters!
Jas, Ah Ma, Carol & me heading back to home.
