Baptisms on 10/21

Who would have guessed that a family from Congo, Africa would have had an impact on children in the US?

Every decision and action you make makes a difference . . . whether the impact takes place now or in the future.

The Echems chose to have complete faith in God in Africa in 1964,

and that stand impacted my kids in the U.S. 50 years later.

The Echems showed complete faith in God.

In turn, inspiring my children to realize their need for Jesus.

God is amazing!

Sunday, October 21st was the day they publicly acknowledged their faith in Christ.

Matt & I are so proud of them.

It's not easy in today's world to identify yourself with Christ.

I had them memorize Romans 1:16 in preparation for this day.

"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ,

For it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes,

For the Jew first and also for the Greek."

Love the look on his face here - Enjoying the moment.

We appreciate everyone who came out to watch three of our kids (and 5 other people) get baptized.
