Little Prakash becomes "Paul" through baptism

Each of the 6 boys was baptised in water via submersion. In India, a non-Christian has the opportunity to take a new Christian name after baptism. Little Prakash chose to be called Paul, after Paul the Apostle. Velusamy, his younger brother, chose Isaac. Those are the names they go by now at MG. The boys' sponsors will get letters denoting their baptisms and the change of names. Praise God that these kids have been able to take this step of faith, with the understanding that the world outside of Miracle Garden is staunchly anti-Christian.
