The girl is Meghan - she was Samantha's first LifeGroup leader this year (she moved to Dallas in January after graduating from Baylor, and Samantha was devastated).
I love the intense look of concentration on Davis' face! :)
Beautiful moment!
And precious Davis praying over his sister! AWESOME!!!
The way baptism works at Antioch is pretty awesome in my book. We go off of the charge of the Great Commission out of Matthew 28:19
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
In fully believing that, we believe that everyone that has been saved becomes a disciple of Christ, and therefore we have all been given the charge to make disciples of others (lead them to Jesus), and to baptize them.
So, it is very special to watch baptisms here, because the people baptizing and praying over the person being baptized have had significant impact on the person's life.
So when you decide to be baptized, you have to decide who is going to baptize you and who is going to pray over you!
Davis was soooooo super excited when Samantha asked him if he would pray over her after she was baptized! And his prayer was one that shook the church! That boy has It! And he uses It!!!
GODBUMPS!!! :D
Vanessa, the pictures of the baptism are great! I clicked on each one so they would enlarge, and those are absolutely precious of Davis and Samantha. I wish Davis's prayer had been recorded, and you could have played it on your "blog" page. That child has the sweetest angelic face.
