Boring? Never!

A single, lonely, middle aged Hispanic man was attending the very small Bible study group on Wednesday evening when we first arrived to Galveston in January, 2010.  We tend to notice these kind of people.  The ones we haven't seen or met before.  We always desire to know more about the new, fresh faces that take an interest in God.  What are their stories?  What are their desires?  Do they really want to know more about God?  Luis became an instant friend.  He had a twin brother, David, who was a member of the Broadway Church of Christ in Galveston.  Apparently, Luis never darkened the doorway of the building until the tragic death of this dearly beloved brother in Christ who suffered a kidney failure, even after a transplant.  Luis continued to study and worship with us at Broadway even though we were meeting in a greenhouse behind Allen and Mikey Isbell's house.  Luis continued, eager, week after week, burying his head in the Bible as we would flip and study, read and discuss the juicy religious material that we could devour out of God's Holy Word.  We think, if you are still reading this, than you are more like us, ready to hear and praying for good news.  Is there any?  We have more than good news, we have great news!  Yesterday, Luis, was so ready and willing to finally be buried into the watery grave of baptism.  He made the greatest confession, in front of all of us, that he believed that Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins on the cross and rose to life again, asking us all who believe in Him to be baptized for the remission of our sins.  It is never boring nor does it ever get old to witness such a fantastic, incredible event!  We are so blessed to get the opportunity to do so.  Well, just in case you too want to witness a piece of this wonderful event for yourself, we have captured a few still images for you.  Just click here.  TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER! Amen!
