First Baptisms for Lighthouse International

Yesterday I arrived home to find my first grader waiting on the doorstep.  With great worry and concern, we found out he walked home instead of staying for the after school program that he normally goes to. Of course we began to rehearse “what to do next time,” but I also asked him what he did for the hour and a half he spent waiting. He said, “I took out my book, but put it back after a bit and began praising Jesus.  I sang Him songs.  It was a nice quiet place to praise Him.”

And on that innocent note, we too praise Him for this last weekend.

Andrew was baptized this weekend  along with a young lady –  our new church’s first baptisms.

We started out with a worship service on the river.

Andrew and Gardner played trumpets together!

followed by a sermon, testimonies and the baptisms

wrapping it up with a huge feast, volleyball and picnic on the river

Gardner bbqs us some yummy shashleek

A great showing of people, feeling the presence of our Savior as we publicly praised Him and enjoyed the beautiful nature!
