“As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be baptized?” (Acts 8:36 NIV).
I helped hitch up our baptism trailer this morning.
We have a portable baptistry stored in a trailer. We are one of three churches that went in together to share the cost of owning a portable baptistry and a trailer. We decided from the start that we would share this with any new church that needed it. After all, we’re in this together.
So, when Pastor Don Brown from the Village Church at Holly Springs called asking to borrow our baptistry, we were thrilled to do so. Pastor Don planted a church near Raleigh that meets at Holly Springs Elementary School. They have some new believers that want to get baptized during the holidays. I think that’s a wonderful idea.
This morning I met Pastor Don and his friend Anthony at the CCS parking lot. We got the baptism trailer hitched up and I handed over the keys.
“Go get some people wet for Jesus!” I shouted, as we parted ways.
They’ll have no excuse now that the water has traveled to them “along the road.”
Our church is so thankful to be able to use the portable baptism this Sunday.
Jorge, a son of a Puerto Rican Baptist Church planter just gave his life to Jesus and wants to tell the world of his new found faith in Christ.
Now, wait a minute, aren’t children of planters (especially Baptist ones) suppose to become Christians as a child. Well, not Jorge. He said at age 16, he went his own way and after a wife, two kids, and serving for the second time in the war in Iraq, God has adopted him into His family.
I will post pictures, but until then, you are welcome to check out pics for our summer baptism when we first mooched off of you for your portable baptism, http://middleman.smugmug.com/gallery/5232366_RCegA#317895042_ESxRP
