“Because I love God and I want everyone to know” is the reason our 7 year old gave when we asked her why she wanted to be baptized during the Crosspointe Baptism Celebration. At first we were cautious as to whether she was “ready” to be baptized at 7 years old. But with an answer like that, it was pretty clear, she knew exactly what she was doing and why.
So did the other 9 members of our Life Group! What an exciting day! Ten Baptisms from one group in one day – it was quite overwhelming.
As we gathered one night in our group, one member mentioned that she was getting baptized during the upcoming event. Over the next week hearts were stirred, conversations were started and decisions were made to publicly proclaim their faith! Interestingly, everyone had made their decision separately, but once everyone knew they were going for it, there was no separating them! Everyone wanted to be together in this mission.
Those in our group who weren’t getting baptized were there in the crowd supporting and cheering. It was such a special day, one that none of us will ever forget.
It’s such a joy to be part of the “life change” we are sharing with a small group of friends.
