Recently, I came across a picture from 2006. Jacob and Joshua were holding up a Good News booklet after they both had made a decision to trust in Jesus.
Over the years, we’ve had a number of conversations about their decision and whenever our church had planned a baptism time at the beach, we talked to them about it. But they were always a bit hesitant to take that step to publicly identify themselves as followers of Jesus via baptism.
A few weeks ago, unexpectedly, they both came home from their Wednesday night youth group meeting and announced that they wanted to get baptized.
So that Sunday, after the service, they both took the plunge, literally, to identify to everyone their desire to follow Christ.
It was an exciting moment for us as parents to see our boys growing spiritually and desiring to live for Christ.
We wanted to share that moment with you and say thanks for your prayers for us and our family. It has meant a lot to us to have dear friends and partners in the gospel praying for our family and our boys and their spiritual development.
Please keep praying for us and our family. And don’t hesitate to share any prayer needs you might have with us!
Love,
Dave & Jen
