Leandro's Baptism- Aug 10th

This past Sunday we were so blessed to see a friend of ours baptized. Leandro has been coming to church and the youth activities for awhile now and asked Travis a few months ago to study the Bible with him. Travis started studying our Evangelistic studies with him and could see that he really was searching for something better in his live. He started hanging around our new building helping do odd jobs and especially in the last few months while the LST group was here, hanging out with them even though there was a bit of a language barrier. He got to know them a lot and we think he saw how God had been working in their lives to bring them here. He was very sad to see them go home but continued to study and ask questions the whole time about God and what kinds of things in his life would have to change if he accepted a live with God. The past week he told Travis he wanted to make those changes and live in God's family. We were excited to see the change in him and to watch him this Sunday make that commitment. Please be in prayer for him as he starts his journey with God and as our church family grows with him. Praise God for his new son!
