Praise God For Rain

A couple of weeks ago our church planned an outdoor baptism service at the farm of one of our members. It was to be a big deal with the baptism of 11 people and followed by a picnic. But thunderstorms hit on that day and it had to be postponed. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT! Why? Here's why:

First of all there were 5 more people who came forward asking to be baptized (My son was one.) But here is the best reason. The service and picnic were rescheduled for yesterday. During the morning service the pastor announced the service to be held at the farm and the picnic to follow. At the end of the service a 16 year old boy came to the pastor and asked to be baptized as he was never "done" as a baby. The pastor asked if he had ever accepted Jesus as savior. The boy hadn't.

Then the pastor explained what baptism was and the plan of salvation. The boy accepted Jesus and was baptized that night! Praise God, a new soul on his way to heaven!!!!!
