Six teens baptized
in Kennesaw, Georgia
KENNESAW, Georgia—Sept. 29 was already going to be a special day, but it turned out to be a spectacular day. Cindie and Jessica Nelson, teenagers from Northwest Christian Fellowship in Kennesaw, were scheduled to be baptized during that Sunday’s worship service. Both were anxious to display their faith in Jesus Christ publicly but neither knew what the impact of their proclamation would have on others.
Pastor Tom Mahan began the sacrament by explaining to the congregation how Jesus set the example of water baptism and gave his disciples the call to baptize others. Pastor Mahan then welcomed anyone else who would like to commit their lives to Jesus and be baptized to come forward and take advantage of the opportunity. We were delighted when Cody White, another teen, came forward!
That was just the beginning, however. Three more teens, Michael, Katie and Joshua Nelson all came forward in the presence of their parents and proclaimed Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives and were baptized! After the service, all the teens and their families joined for communion. Anthony Mullins.
