Wade in the Water

Before I forget the details, I wanted to share about an awesome experience all of us here shared on Friday morning. One of the interns, Adam, was baptized in the Caribbean Sea! That morning we woke up and spent time learning about Baptism. We looked at what the scriptures say, what Theologians say, and what different commentaries say. We looked at the purpose of baptism, the reasons for being baptized, and what physical baptism looks like. While we were discussing I was on the computer making a Certificate of Baptism for Adam.
After all the talking we loaded into the car and drove down to the beach. Once we arrived Dr. Don got out the guitar and we sang a few songs, in English and Spanish, then shared our favorite verses with Adam. He then shared his testimony, we prayed and then he and Dr. Don walked out into the water and he was baptized!!

It was such a neat time of community and fellowship. It makes me think of the baptizing John the Baptist and Jesus did over 2,000 years ago. They didn't have nice heated pools in big fancy churches then. They had the seas, and the oceans with all their glorious sand. What a day of rejoicing! We love you Adam!
