In June, the Booths’ church gathered at the river for a baptism service. Thirteen people, from ages 12 to 51, read their testimonies of how they were saved and declared their love for Jesus and desire to follow Him. Many unsaved friends and family, as well as other bystanders, heard the simple, but powerful testimonies of God’s grace. Then, they sang “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” and waded out into the water. One by one, each person was “buried with Christ in baptism and raised to walk in newness of life.” As the sun set, they went home rejoicing over the great things God had done. One of those baptized was Eliana, who received an invitation to church in her mailbox last summer. A mission team from Tennessee gave out 5,000 of these invitations. As far as they know, Eliana was the only one who responded to this outreach, and yet all that work was worth it to see her joy in Jesus.
