Sis. Justine Kaya Kasanga was baptized into the Lord on June 8, 2025. The day was described as including a beautiful ceremony of the baptism, Memorial Service, and wonderful fellowship. We are very thankful that the ceremony, which was hosted at Bro. Dan and Sis. Maribel Archibald’s home in Laval, Quebec.

Justine lives in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, with her parents and siblings. She recently immigrated to Canada from Congo (DRC). Justine is the first member of her family to be baptized in the Christadelphian community, even though her family is Christian. 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 with brethren from Toronto West, Montreal, and Kilcoy (Guyana), in both 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 Bro. Victor, Justine’s sister and a friend shared in the blessing of fellowship as they witnessed Justine’s immersion in the river backing Archibald’s home.

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