at 11:00; 27 children tonight. The morning baptisms were impromptu.
People left their seats and came to be baptized. We provided clothes,
towels, hair dryers, and everything else they needed.
In each service, the moving of the Spirit was overwhelming. At 9:30
two young ladies came running to be baptized when they saw their dad
go under the water. At 8:00 one lady held out till the very end of
the invitation, but then suddenly gave in and walked quickly to the
front.
At 8:00 we baptized an Anglo woman, Anglo man, Hispanic woman, and an
African American man. In the morning, we baptized more men than women.
The very last baptism tonight said it all. One of our ordained
ministers baptized his daughter. He was so overcome with emotion that
he barely was able to speak. As the girl came up out of the water,
her dad lifted her from the tank, and the two enjoyed a long embrace.
This is one of those rare days where you want to stay up until
midnight to glean every blessing available on a day when God is
obviously at work.
