From Pastor Mike Jentes at the Los Altos, Calif., Grace Brethren Church comes this report of a baptism service that was held on Sunday. At right, Senior Pastor Phil Helfer prays with a young man. Click here for more photos of the day.
What a day of rejoicing we had together! 18 people told the world that they want to follow Jesus! And another 13 people followed Jesus command to be “baptizers of disciples” from Matthew 28:19-20. It was a beautiful day! The sun was out, the Son was glorified and the food & fellowship were great!
One important notice: the Evil One took note of what happened on Sunday. As is his custom, he ramps up the difficulty and suffering in the moments after a Christian takes a stride of obedience. This ought not shock us!
Our Jesus has overcome the Evil One and makes His disciples overcomers…but please be about the work of loving and praying for these precious “children of God” who made a declaration to the world about following Jesus! It will make an eternal difference!
