Sofia entrusted her life to God despite her young age. Even by the photo you can tell that this story would be about baptism of a young girl. And this is true, because Sofia is only 14 years old. At her baptism there were more than 30 people! The first time she came to church was at the age of five with her mom and older brother. Her family was surrounded by many disciples who would visit them and spend time together at their home. Their most frequent guests were Sasha, Julia and Vitalii.
In the church, Sofia soon joined meetings for pre-teens and teens. The turning point of her life was the time she went to pre-teen camp, organized by the Moscow Church of Christ. At that time Sofia was 12 years old. At camp she would have long conversations with disciples. After this trip, she had a desire to read the Bible and get baptized. She started praying daily and studying the word of God. Before she did not have such a desire. She also started taking Sunday services and God's commandments more seriously.
Sofia soon joined the teen ministry. She loved spending time with this group since they shared the same interests, setting a great example of a strong faith and sharing their knowledge about Christ.
Two years after her trip to pre-teen camp, Sofia wanted to get baptized and it was obvious to everyone. Her desire to be obedient to God has helped Sofia to stay true to her decision to get baptized. She received a lot of support from disciples who were spending time with her. They answered all of her deep and difficult questions and truly invested in her life and spiritual growth. Moreover, Sofia received valuable advice and help from disciples in the campus ministry.
Sofia hopes to become a helping hand and a supportive heart for those who are learning how to surrender to God and be obedient. She also wants to have a family within the church. Sofia is a great example of a person who is committed to a goal. Her number one aim has been achieved already – she became a disciple. We believe that it is only the beginning and she will have many more victories in her life!
