Several weeks ago our church announced their plan to have a baptism service yesterday, and right away Chad expressed interest in being baptized.
Blake and Chad spent time walking through a booklet from our Pastor, and then Chad was sure he wanted to share his testimony and be baptized.
What a joyous day!!!
There was a picnic after church at one park, and then everyone headed to Jersey Lake for the baptisms!
Chad was one of six that were baptized, and they gave their testimonies under the shelter before we all headed down to the water for the baptisms.
On Chad’s 4th birthday, while Blake was giving him a bath, Chad asked Blake questions about Jesus and His saving grace. Chad then prayed with Blake and I, asking Jesus into his heart – to put off his old self and become new – which is exactly what we have witnessed in Chad’s life – growth and fruit. We gathered all the kiddos together that special night and had extra ice cream to celebrate Chad’s salvation!!
Pastor had asked Blake if he would like to be the one to baptize Chad, and that answer was an EASY YES!
Here is a video of Pastor’s words and Blake baptizing Chad:
What a blessed joyous afternoon!!!!!
We are SO, so grateful for all the Lord is doing and has done in Chad’s heart and life!!
May the Glory be HIS and His alone!!
The memories of this special afternoon are already tucked deep into our minds and hearts.
It was the very best day!!!!
