I
love baptism days! (The joy of witnessing others profess their faith in and
dedication to Christ always makes me a
little teary J).
Among
those baptized this year…
An
entire family was baptized!- Magali (the mother) who had been a believer for
years, her new-believer husband
who had just joined the church for discipleship
studies this year, and her two adolescent sons Lalo and Erick, who had been
often in our prayers as they pass
through rebellious years. My tears of
joy joined Magali’s as she watched her husband and sons, for whom she had
prayed for years, declare their faith in Christ. We know this is just the start of a major
transformation in these men in her life as the Holy Spirit makes them new creatures
in Him!
Lupita
was also baptized- after coming to the faith through her children when they
atended VBS with us two years ago. Her
commitment
was so evidently genuine!- as she said she was giving her life to
Christ and putting her two children in His hands.
Of
special value to Paco was his brother, Lupe’s, baptism, who, though he has been
walking with the Lord for years, had never make a public profession of his
faith through baptism. Paco’s tears were
just a
small evidence of the great joy he experienced of baptizing his beloved
brother.
