Baptism boost for village
The first baptisms in more than 15 years at a small village evangelical church took place in late June. A mother and daughter were baptized at Otford Evangelical Free Church near Sevenoaks after attending the church for just over a year.
Kevin Bracken, who has pastored the church since the start of 2018, said the two women had a sense that Jesus was the Son of God and the Bible was true, ‘but since sitting regularly under the ministry of the word of God and attending a Christianity Explored course run by the church, their faith has matured leading to a desire to be baptized’.
