Yesterday (Sunday) at youth, we had the honor of baptizing 8 students! We are overjoyed that so many people gathered to witness this significant event. There is no greater joy than celebrating new life in Christ!
It’s incredible to see how some of those baptized yesterday have journeyed from making a personal decision to follow Jesus to now publicly proclaiming their faith through baptism. This reflects the biblical pattern—belief in Jesus followed by baptism as an outward sign of an inward transformation.
For some of our students, yesterday was even more meaningful as they had the incredible privilege of being baptized by their mentors and leaders—people who have prayed for them, walked alongside them, and encouraged them in their faith. A few also had the honor of baptizing someone from their own small group. Seeing these students publicly declare their faith is a powerful reminder of the deep, life-giving relationships God is building through this group.
Matthew 28:19-20 calls us all to “go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
We give God all the glory!
