Sister Justine Kaya Kasanga was baptized into the Lord on June 8, 2025, in what was described as a beautiful ceremony of the baptism, memorial service and wonderful fellowship.  We are very thankful that the ceremony was hosted at Bro. Dan and Sister Maribel Archibald’s home in Laval Quebec.

Justine lives in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec with her parents and siblings after immigrating to Canada from Congo (DRC) recently.  Justine is the first member of her family to be baptized in the Christadelphian community even as her family are Christians.  She was introduced to the Christadelphians by Bro. Victor Kaiza of the Des Moines, USA ecclesia.  Justine diligently studied the scriptures and took baptism classes over the last year via Zoom online with brethren from Toronto West, Montreal and Kilcoy (Guyana) in English and Swahili.

It is wonderful to witness someone who had never attended a Christadelphian meeting taking on the saving name of Christ and meeting brothers and sisters for the first time on this occasion.

The Montreal and Toronto West brothers and sisters, together with brother Victor, Justine’s sister and a friend were able to share in the blessing of fellowship as they witnessed the immersion of Justine in the river backing the Archibald’s home.

We welcome our new sister Justine Kaya Kasanga into her new family in Christ.
