It's Twins!

Last night was a joyous occasion as 2 of our children decided to commit their lives to Jesus. We gathered around them on the banks of the river to witness their baptisms. It is so good to be surrounded by friends and family who raise up our arms as parents and who will do the same for our children. One of my favorite moments was when an 11-year old friend (who was baptised 1 week ago) said, "Now we can really be spiritual sisters."

We'd love to get pictures from one or all of the many cameras. Thanks for recording this special moment for us.

Welcome to the Lamb's book of Life, Jessica and Bethany! God has been pursuing you your whole life and He has incredible plans for you in His kingdom! His love for you never fails!

With love in Jesus,

What an exciting hour for us. I hope we can continue to encourage all/each of you, and now the twins especially, to grow in and for the Lord and to draw others to seek the kingdom too.

That sound may be my buttons popping from joy and delight.

Papa John and Unka Geoffrey have already put all the pictures (unedited) on a disc for you.

Welcome, Baby Sisters!!
