Wilson gets Baptized...


March 29th was a very exciting time at church. We had 9 people get baptized this Sunday!  Praise the Lord.  Listening to their testimonies was so encouraging.  
One of those people who got baptized was Wilson.  He is the man we asked you to pray for about being discipled.  He recently moved to Australia from Brazil with his wife and young child. After visiting our church one Sunday, He and his wife accepted Christ as their personal Savior. 
Well, he was the last to get baptized that day. He gave his testimony about how life had been good for him...easy...no worries...and how prideful he was because of his success in work, athletics & other things.  He thanked the Lord for breaking down the wall of pride in his life and showing him his sin and his need for a Savior.  He was in tears and so were most of us listening to him... very moving.  Well, here is a photo of Wilson. The joy on his face when he comes out of the water says it all! ( that is his little boy, Daniel, behind him watching and holding his towel for him)
