Baptism of Nastya and Ira...

Today, I had the pleasure of baptizing Nastya and Ira at the lake near Pine Branch Christian Camp. Throughout the week, our lessons at camp had been around accepting and understanding the love of God. The week also included many discussions about Gods desire to have a relationship with us and that there is nothing that can separate us from Him, except ourselves.

Last night, Nastya and Ira came and spoke with me and expressed their desire to walk with the Lord and we spent some time studying together before they made their decision. Today, surrounded by everyone from the transitional living center and our mission team, I had the priviledge of baptizing them.
