Hello Everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the picnic a
success. It really was. I think it was our best one so far. Besides
the face painting, food, and overall fun, this was indeed a life
changing event for many people.
Reconciliation Wedding: Adela and Paul Alvarado had
been divorced. Within the last couple of years , even though they were
divorced, they started coming to New Life Oak Forest. During that time
they both surrendered their lives to Christ. They got mentored and
joined small groups. God continued to work on them and they realized
that they still loved each other and wanted to be together. What you
witnessed at the picnic was a reconcilation wedding. Paul and Adela got
remarried to one another and then followed that up by being baptized.
Baptisms: I asked each one of you to bring a gallon of
water to fill the baptistry and we did it. Over all we baptized 9
people at the picnic. Each one of the baptisms represents a life that
has been changed by the power of God.
Please keep the following recently baptized people in your prayers;
Paul,Adela,Mario, Crystal, Carol, Lori, Jill, Scott, and Dana.
Salvations: To top it all off we had two people surrender their lives to Jesus during the service at the picnic.
In case you haven't realized it, God is up to something at New Life Oak Forest. And we get to be part of it!
He is Awesome!
Pastor AL
