Baptism

Daniel and I were having our normal discipleship time tonight and we started discussing his baptism on Sunday. He brought it up because he was so excited about it. He started mentioning people that were coming and that he was thinking of inviting and I got the image in my head of a wedding ceremony. The way Daniel was talking was the way I envision a bride planning her wedding. It was so beautiful and as he was talking, I was thinking that this is how baptism should be. We should be excited as if we are going to a wedding. In a huge way, we are. In baptism we are tasting a little bit of what the marriage ceremony of The Lamb is going to be like. I can't help but get tears in my eyes when I think about that day and how beautiful it will be.

CE!

Please pray for Jason, Megan and I tonight as our new protodiscipleship program called Christianity Explored is starting! It's a way to introduce non and new believers to Jesus and the basics of our faith.

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you've all had a wonderful new year! I have some wonderful news, I'm now moved in! My flatmate is Wade, the guy playing the guitar in the photo. He's a great man of God and I am thrilled that he wanted to move in with me! We prayed over the flat today and started stowing our stuff. In between my last post and this one, I have been staying at Daniel's flat. His flatmate Gavin graciously allowed me to stay in his room while he was away home on Christmas break. It was a stretching experience as Daniel is the student I'm discipling, and it felt like I had to be on 24/7. However, I am very thankful for how God provides. He provided this flat through a conversation with the owner, my friend. He provided a flatmate because Wade simply hadn't found a place yet and needed somewhere to stay, isn't God awesome!? If you're wondering why I have my eyebrows shaved, it's because I had to be a punk at a ceilidh and had nothing "punkish" in my wardrobe, so I decided "why not". Another bit of news is that I preached a sermon on New Years Day at RE:Hope, if you want to listen, go to www.rehope.co.uk and go the messags bit. If you don't mind praying, please be praying that I can be a bright light for Daniel and show him Jesus. Also please be in prayer that the rest of my financial support would come in and that Christianity Explored will go well.
