Baptism Sunday

On Saturday, April 11, 2009 our 7 1/2 year old grandson, Gavin, asked Jesus to be his Savior! He tried to call me Saturday night, but I had fallen asleep on the sofa, so Gary didn't wake me. Sunday morning, Gavin came up to me before Sunday School just beaming and, told me that he had prayed to receive Christ the night before. Of course, my eyes teared up and I hugged him and told him how proud I was of him. Then we went in to Sunday School (he's in my 1st grade class) and he got to tell the others. He even demonstrated how, as he was laying in bed "talking to God about a few things", he raised his hand and asked Jesus to come into his heart. Then he got out of bed and knocked on his dad and mom's door and told them what had happened. While mom fed baby Cael, Dad talked to him about it and asked him questions and rejoiced with him.

Yesterday was his baptism day. It was a glorious day for it! Pastor Kevin had been preaching a series on baptism and this Sunday was the final sermon in the series. There were several very touching testimony videos, including one from Gavin's Aunt Heather. There were four children and four adults baptized.







Gavin couldn't wait to tell his teacher and friends at school. One more precious soul added to the Kingdom... and I believe that Gavin will continue to tell his story about Jesus's saving power so that many others will be added, as well.

I love you Gavin,
