There are several people fear a lot about Baptism. Here in our area Denominations preaches wrongly about baptism. They said it need lot of time and age to take baptism. Some denominations teaches that there is no need of baptism. I am trying to teach the truth about the baptism show them the word. Acts 2:38, and Mark 16:17, 18. In results 4 of them repent and baptized in to Christ. We had rain for 5 days . Due to that I weared plastic bag for my head to keep it dry.
