We’ve been in Ireland almost 10 years to the day. Yesterday was one of the greatest days in this country so far. Probably one of the greatest of my life. I got to baptize Eden.
As our church began to announce baptisms Eden told Katy he was interested. Eden being eight years old I wanted to make sure he understand what it meant to get baptized. After much deep theological discussion Eden decided, “I believe in God, and God is good.” He wanted to make his decision to follow Christ public.
It was great celebrating with our Irish family. And thankfully we were able to get most of our family back in the US to join us on Zoom as it happened. I almost broke down when I saw their faces watching along. It’s hard to be away from family everyday but especially milestone moments like this.
I was so honoured to be by his side with Sean Booth, the lead pastor of Open Arms Church here in Dublin. I’m still buzzing as type this out. On top of all that, Open Arms Dublin celebrated it’s four-year birthday. It was a long but wonderful Sunday.
I want to thank you all for your prayers and support, particularly for my family. We couldn’t have survived so far from home this long without you all. God is using you everyday in our lives, in our ministry, and in the lives of our children.
