Four years ago a student at Boston Baptist College came with his wife to help me restore MBC. His desire to be active in the Lord's work permeated his life. Called at a later stage of life, with wife and two young children he went to Maine to start a church. In my opinion Maine along with Vermont are difficult areas to plant a church, especially in the rural areas. But there he believed that God had called him.
What made today's service special - First, he asked us to be his new sending church. But beyond that he had the privilege to baptize his mother-in-law. She is from the Philippians and was flying back home.
With lack of English - her daughter translated the questions - her responses - her face told it all.
What a day!
