New groups of catechumens from villages across the Iringa region gathered at the Kindamali Mission Center in Tanzania to receive Holy Baptism.

It was a joyful day, with children and adults beaming under the sun as they embraced their faith.

Bishop Agathonikos of Arusha and Central Tanzania welcomed the newly baptised into the Orthodox Church, offering them guidance on their spiritual journey.

A significant presence of Maasai people was observed, as many from the community have embraced Orthodoxy.
