Baptism in the Klip River

It was an amazing day today. I had the opportunity to assist in a baptism with Alan. I was honored to be asked to help baptize my friend and brother in Christ, Jerry. God was truly good to us on this day.  For the past six days the high has been in the 50's and 60's, cold, and rainy. We were not even sure if we would have a baptism today, but God came through, like He always does. It was a perfect, warm, and beautiful day.

Not only was it my first experience with baptizing another person, but it was also in a river! The water was cold, but, it was no where near as cold as the water in the Jordan (Pastor Rich, you know what I am talking about). Afterwards we had a great time of fellowship. It's wonderful to have a baptism here and to see the excitement and pure joy on the faces of those around you. Isn't our God great! Anyway, I just wanted to share this amazing day with all of you back home and abroad praying for my family and me. We love you all!
