want to share some good news!

[lavrn]

Hi, everyone!!! I just couldn't wait to share a little good news with you!!!
This week at my church, we have been in revival- my son, who is only 7 1/2,
asked me if he could "be baptized-- I think I'm ready" - I wanted to be sure, because he is so young, I didn't know if he really understood or not . BUT, after talking with him and our Pastor, he did accept Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm telling you this because, (1) It is such good news I can't keep it to myself! and (2) because he came to his decision thru the hard , dedicated work of MANY Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, the pastor, my family, AND THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL that made sure he heard His precious WORD all his young life!!!!!!!!!!!!! My point is, God uses many of us to spread his Gospel and tell of His love, and VBS is a very important part of that--I want to thank each of you for doing what you do, your dedication and committment in the most important job in the world- bringing others to Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Hallelujah! My 8 year old daughter was also baptized this last week. She is so driven to do whatever God wants her to do! My 3 1/2 year old comes to me everyday telling me ALL of her verses from SonForce Kids. She knows all of Joshua 1:9! God is truly working in our kids and I truly believe they will lead our church of today into revival! Praise the Lord!!!

:)Angie, congratulations on your daughter!!!!! Isn't it just the most wonderful feeling in the world--to know that no matter what happens on this earth, your child is SAFE IN JESUS' LOVING ARMS?????? Daniel was baptized yesterday, I'm including a picture for everyone to see-- look closely at his little face-- isn't that joy in the Lord???????

Even more joyous news-- last night at Youth Group, my 10 yr old niece decided to accept our Precious Lord Jesus!!!!!! It is wonderful to see how the Lord works with little children!!!
