Raised to New Life
It has been such a joy to serve here in Portugal with Igreja Baptista do Montijo. We’ve met so many people with sweet testimonies and a genuine love for Jesus and for others.
We continue learning the language and growing in our understanding of Portuguese culture—and this church has been a big part of that journey.
One of the special moments we’ve been able to experience and share with them was their recent baptism day. I’ve had the privilege of baptizing many people back in Nebraska, and I thank God for every person who has followed Jesus in baptism and allowed me to be part of their journey.
This baptism day reminded me just how special that decision is—and how important it is in a person’s spiritual walk. For some of those being baptized, it was a HUGE step of faith. Being part of it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’m so thankful that God brought us to Portugal and allows us to serve alongside the Booths.
Here’s a link to an article written by our missionary partner, David Booth. He shares more about this event and some of their powerful stories.
