I didn’t mind getting wet…AT ALL!

This weekend we had 3 more baptisms. Each one is special. Each one unique and powerful with their own redemptive story. What made this weekend special for me was that one of those baptized was a good friend that I’ve been praying for these past 6 years.

Mike Emerson, and his family, moved onto our street early in 2012. Mike quickly became a good friend and a few years back was the main influence in my taking up mountain biking. We have had a lot of fun together!

Mike and Zabrina have been a part of our LifeGroup for the last several years as well. Here’s part of what Zabrina sent to our LifeGroup Sunday after Mike’s baptism. With her permission, I share it with all of you so that you might get a sense of the power of the relationships built in a LifeGroup.

“I just wanted to say ‘Thank you’ from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support ALL of you have and continue to show Mike and I. … I never understood “LifeGroup” until we were in one. The friendships you create are so amazing and priceless that until you are in a group you can hardly understand it.”

When Mike hugged me after he was all wet, I was just as excited as he was! Dripping wet I was grateful for my friend…and new brother in Christ!

Do you have a friend or family member you’ve been praying for? DO NOT GIVE UP!!!
