While we were on outreach in Spain Christy
and I had the privilege of being able to baptize one of our team members, Nina.
It was the first time either of us had been
asked to baptize anyone so we were very excited. After we had talked about when
and where we decided that what better way for her start her year but with a
public declaration of faith. As we
were staying on the coast of the Mediterranean we thought it would be fun to do
this in the ocean.
New years day was sunny and warm, one of the
best that the local pastors have ever experienced. We headed down to the beach
and spent some time worshiping and hearing Nina’s story of coming to faith,
before heading into the ocean.
It was a really special day, and being able
to share it with the church we were working with made it even better. It was
very encouraging for all involved. To hear how she came to know God and what He
has done in her life is really inspiring. It makes doing what we do worth every
moment, seeking after God and seeing him changes lives for the better.
