Yesterday I received a great praise report from Rob Wilton, pastor of Vintage Church in Uptown New Orleans and I wanted to share it with you. God has blessed Vintage Church and their efforts in Uptown and they are beginning to see a harvest from the seeds they've sown. With this harvest came the opportunity to baptize new believers.
"Our goal," says Rob, "was to celebrate the life change and testimony of these seven people in our community. We had a worship service in which we celebrated Christ and t
aught on the biblical truth about what it means to be baptized. When we finished our worship we went to the back of our church and had the baptism. Most baptisms feel more like a funeral than a celebration. We created an environment that felt more like a tailgating party. There was singing, clapping, praying, and most importantly the baptism. As each person came out of water we yelled at the top of our lungs. It was an exciting time. After our worship we had a cookout in Laurence Park. It was a great day."

Also, pray that the seven recently baptized will grow in their relationship with Christ and be an effective witness for Him to their community.
