Baptism

I have mentioned recently how in the last month small group studies have started with people here in the community.
Every Monday night in the Cucuy development their is one in Denis's house.
Last night I was settling the kids down for a movie when Dorian called and said bring the camera and a towel their is someone who wants to get baptized. I ran to get the camera and towel and told the kids to turn off the TV and lets to go see a baptism.
A young man named Carlos has come to the bible study and said he wanted to change his life and that he wanted things to be different. He was in a gang and had committed many crimes. He said you don't understand what I have done God will not accept me. He was showed several scriptures and told him that God forgives he just needed to hand his life over to God. He said he was afraid and did not want to live with satan. He wanted to be free from the sin in his life and start over again.
He said we would probably not see him again because he needed to get out of the country because it was too dangerous for him to be here. So please say a prayer for Carlos as he struggles to find his new life and leave the past behind.
Praise God for hearts being changed and lives being given to God!!!!
