The truth is, everyone impacts eternity. The question is, do we impact it positively or negatively? Do we push people towards hell or towards heaven? I have been blessed for many years now, to help point people to Jesus as a profession. I have struggled with the reasonings, the motives, the effectiveness, the pride struggles, the self-doubt; virtually anything you can wrestle with related to how we perform ministry and lead and train others for ministry. But I am coming to a place where I find peace in my role in the Kingdom. I savor it; I'm thankful for it. I see how God has made me to fill an important part of the Kingdom and how He's continuing to shape me to better fill that role.
So it invigorates and humbles me to share this with you. This past Sunday, July 31st, I had the privilege to baptize Tanya into Christ! It's an honor I never tire of and each one is special. This one has another layer of significance, though.
Tanya is the first person immersed in connection to The Knightdale Movement. That is huge. That is a sonic boom in eternity in my opinion. We hope it's the first of many more. In fact, I know it is. Not because I'm awesome or because our team is (they are awesome). It's the first of many because Jesus is Lord and His Gospel is powerful. How many "the many" are will be directly correlated to how many we get out and share the love of Jesus with. But the Gospel never loses its power.
So pray for us, that we rely on Jesus for our power. Pray for Tanya and her husband Steven and their two boys. They are part of our launch team. It's growing and God is moving. So, no matter if it's a sonic boom or a tiny little echo, I'm glad to know the Knightdale Movement is echoing in eternity. Thanks for your part in the movement!
Tanya, fresh out of the Baptistry!
