<p>Ricky and Karen Sanchez, the missionaries we are partnering with, have been instrumental in planting several churches here in this coastal town. Today, we had the privilege to worship with one of these churches, and participate in their baptismal service. Two of our own, Jess and Andy, were baptized in the Gulf of Thailand, with other fellow Christians. Karen told the audience that they had been praying for six baptisms, and with God moving on the two men from our group, it brought the total up to seven. When these beautiful Thai people make a decision to be baptizyed, they are cut off from their families, who are Buddhist. This is a huge decision and sacrifice for these dear brothers and sisters in Christ. We ended the service by laying hands on the ones being baptized, and asking God to honor and bless their step of faith. Thank you Lord for saving us and loving us, Dear Jesus. Your gift of salvation is the ultimate and absolute everything!
