On Friday, we had the amazing opportunity to witness one of our friends become our sister in Christ! Praise God!! Jane-Jane is a young mother of two who lives with Wayne’s family and is working in order to provide for her children who are currently living in southern Cebu. Jen-Jen has been seriously thinking about giving her life to God for quite some time now, and we were so excited to hear that she was ready to wash away her old self while we were in Talisay. In these past couple weeks, we have gotten to know her well and so we were extremely excited to be invited to the Sea to hear her confession of faith and welcome her into the family of God.
So, at 6am on Friday morning, we met Wayne, Jane-Jane, and Mommy Lou at their house and made our way to the Sea. I have never witnessed a baptism in the ocean before, and I have to say there is something about joining God’s family in such a beautiful setting that sent chills down my spine. Though the location of one’s baptism doesn’t make a difference, it was still an inspiring experience to witness someone beginning their new life in the midst of God’s beautiful creation!
I put this video together so that you can join us in witnessing a new sister join our amazing family. The video doesn’t do the beauty of the place any justice, though. Thank you so much for your prayers and continue to praise God for the work he is doing in Talisay!
How you can pray for us: Pray for our new sister in Christ, Jane-Jane. Pray that she will always remember to rely on God. Pray that God will bless her life and use her as a vessel to do His good work. Pray for her church family that they are able to surround her and continue to show her what a community who is completely focused on God looks like. Pray that the will able to overcome any trials that Satan may put in her path and that her faith will continue to grow daily. To God be the glory!!
AWESOME!! P.T.L.!
ReplyDeletePlease express to Jane-Jane how excited I am to have a new sister in Christ. That must have been an awesome experience to witness this new birth as the sun is rising over the sea! To Glory be the glory, Great things He is doing in the Philippines!
ReplyDeleteJoy! The angels in heaven are singing and I am sitting her smiling. Give Jane-Jane an extra hug from another sister over here in the US that is rejoicing in her decision. May our Father continue to bless the seeds that are being planted as you sit and share His words with others. Tina
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be more excited to hear about Jen-Jen coming to faith in Christ and being willing to publicly make that known. I'm glad to see how encouraging all her brothers and sisters are to her there in the Philippines and I know several people who are praying for her back home. Praise the Lord!
