Braulio is one of the five new believers who were baptized this month.  He is a young man who recently moved away from his family in the farmland of Manabi province to come to Manta in order to earn a living.  A growing city can be a tremendously lonely place for a twenty-one year-old living away from home for the first time.  Braulio accepted an invitation to our church back in December and is now a fixture on the second row aisle seat.  After just a few weeks of having trusted Christ as his Savior and receiving personal discipleship lessons, Braulio gave a brief testimony:  “When I came to Manta I didn’t know anyone, now, because of this church, I have a family here!”  Isn’t it great to be part of such a wonderful family that reaches around the world?
