Rejoice

Monday night, we had a great reason to rejoice. Slader decided to dedicate his life to Christ. We are really proud of him and his decision, as I'm sure his parents are. It has been really amazing to work with Slader and the other teens at church for a little over a year now. It's been great to see them all grow and mature in their faith. In fact, in just over a year, our church has been blessed with 5 baptizms of our teens. It's been an amazing year of seeing God work in their lives.

Here's Slader's dad with him just before he baptized him.

Slader was pretty cold. I told him that I still had him beat though. I was baptized in the Yamhill river over Labor Day weekend at 11PM (Faith Quest).

Slader's mentor and friend, Cy, took his confession.
