Today I got to experience Beach Baptism, and I must say it was powerful. For some not so strange reason, I couldn’t hold back my tears from flowing. That’s when I know the Holy Spirit is right there beside me. There were around 45 people who were born again in the salty Carolina ocean waves this afternoon. The fascinating thing was to watch every person, from all ages and walks of life be immersed into that water, and rise up with a smile and a new found sense of hope and purpose. It’s like they came home. Families and friends watched and cheered everyone on. I felt an overwhelming feeling of community.  It was refreshing to see hundreds of people come together for the same purpose for God’s glory. I watched grinning ear to ear and a heart overflowing for the capacity of God’s love. I could have sat on that sandy Carolina beach all evening and watch people come home.

You will look for me and find me when you look for me with all of your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
