A Baptism Service Broke Out!

Buried with Christ in baptism, raised in the newness of life…. All things are made new.

We had an incredible time with the Teen Challenge guys this week-end. This was our third annual Teen Challenge Pool Bash! We open up our home, backyard and pool to everyone at North Central Indiana Teen challenge, not only to be blessing to them, but also for us to minister and encourage these guys to keep going on with Jesus. These times are a way we build relations with the guys, speak into their lives and minister to them, all why we are having a great time of swimming, playing some yard games and eating some good food. (Please see the pic’s below...)

God was so gracious, as there was a threat of storms but we prayed and asked God to hold off the storm clouds and praise God-we had great weather as the sun was actually popping out from time to time. We thank God for the beautiful day!

A real highlight of the event happened as we were having a time of worship and getting into the Word. One of the students came forward and testified of how his whole desire is now to go all out for the Lord- to be totally sold out!! He testified how he wants nothing to hinder him and for God to number one in everything. He continued sharing on his desire that he wanted to get water baptized and live fully for Christ. Amen. We shouted and rejoiced with him. Then we felt the nudge of the Holy Spirit to baptize this young man right now! Why wait? This was not planned at all, but we knew the Lord was doing something and orchestrating this, so we all shuffled over to the pool, to what we thought was to baptize one guy. But God has additional plans.

After JJ was baptized, Andy Collins, (Director of TC), asked if there was anyone else feeling prompted by the Lord. Four more brothers felt the leading to lay it all down and make the public profession and be water baptized. It was incredible! We all shouted praises and rejoiced, we hugged and encouraged. It was amazing seeing the faces of these guys as they came out of the water. What a marvelous day! To God be the glory!!

Thanks Saints! Be encouraged- God is still moving and changing lives.

Thanks for reading God bless!
