The parish priest of Risen Christ Nakwamekwei Fr. Raphael Cephalo challenged the Christian today in mass that baptism is not enough in the Christian faith but also Christian related actions.
Fr. Cephalo in his homily asked the Christians to pray for southern Sudan as they start their voting for the referendum today and will last for a week. He said the Christian missionary who had worked in Sudan experienced some challenges and thus need their prayers.
The priest encouraged the Christians to emulate the life of Jesus Christ who accepted to be baptized with sinners and he never excluded himself from others and also said that the fact that Jesus was born from a humble background makes him know our problem more and Christian should look unto him for help.
