Baptism

Richard Brady Mr. Brady came to Onesimus on 4/16/14. When he arrived, he was an admitted atheist. Since that day, I have seen Richard slowly take to the Word of God. I would talk to Richard about God, and what He has done for me. Richard would never turn me away. Another resident Mr. Greg Little, a very dear friend to us both would also talk to Richard about God. Then one day he started to take it in. Richard finally decided to accept the Lord as his personal Savior and decided to be baptized at his home church, First Church of the Nazarene of Chesapeake, on Easter Sunday. Heaven gained another soul and Satan lost one, Halleluiah, Amen. I am very proud of my brother in Christ, may the love of God shine upon him and His blessings be with Richard. Welcome to God’s family my brother. God, bless you in all that you do.

Bob has been a blessing to this house and to all whose lives he has touched by his kind and gentle nature and his talk about the Lord. Bob, along with his wife Barbara, have been a regular presence at Onesimus every 2nd Saturday night of the month for over twenty-five years. Bob has befriended many Onesimus residents over the years. He was the type of man when you spoke with him he would put your mind to ease especially if you were feeling down; and if you were messing up he would call you out fast and with that being said; he would let you know what the Bible said about the situation. Bob was a great friend and a great musician. He always liked to play Amazing Grace to the tune of:” The House of the Rising Sun. Bob’s music would bless each one of us at Onesimus House. Bob, we miss you and we will see you again in our eternal home with Christ.
