Next Steps

Nothing thrills me more than seeing people take next steps in their journeys with God.  Recently, Manny Cabeza took the step to be baptized.  Check out Alex's blog for more on Manny.

Two Baptisms in Two Weeks

It's been a great couple weeks despite the exodus of those who went on Spring Break. The last two Sundays we have had the honor of celebrating with two Christ-followers as they took their next step in their relationship with Jesus by being baptized.

Aracelis was baptized last week at Hiram and Liz Rios' house and Jaime (pronounced "Hi-may") was the first person ever to be baptized in our hot tub! When Janie and I bought this house last Spring we hoped we would get to use it for that purpose. Jaime is the first man officially baptized as part of The Pursuit. I loved seeing Francesca and Ari take this step but there was a special excitement I felt as I watched Jaime take his next step in front of his wife and two kids.

We had about 20 people over at our house yesterday afternoon to celebrate along with the Lopez family. I love my "job!"

1st Baptism Tomorrow!

Tomorrow will be a special day for The Pursuit Christian Church. After the Celebration Service we are going to continue the celebration as we have our very first baptism! A family who attends is offering us their pool.

Francesca is a high school student who will be baptized by her best friend who has been following Christ for a while. What a special day for both of them! Everyone is invited to stop by and celebrate her decision.
