Truth Connect was in Haiti for a Leadership Training Conference (LTC) in April, 2014. Each day of the LTC the Truth Connect team ministered to church leaders (see earlier blog-posts). Each evening the ministry team participated in a community evangelistic outreach. At the end of the week a baptism was conducted for new believers. Early on Saturday morning, 19 converts and their families gathered on the north shore of Haiti to witness this very public obedience
to and identification
with Jesus Christ. Pastor Exante and Dr. Don conducted the baptisms in the ocean and were assisted by the pastors of the New Haitian Mission Baptist Association.

After baptism each person is wrapped in a white sheet to symbolize their cleansing and new life in Christ Jesus. Dr. Don gives a word of encouragement and blessing.
