Baptism

A lot has happened with the campus ministry since my last update, but one very happy event was the baptism of Allie Graham. She is a spunky little person on fire for God. She came to us this year not only as a new student but also as a new Christian. She grew up Jewish and became a Christian over the summer by the grace of God. Her family and friends traveled up for this important event which was huge for them. Even though her becoming a Christian has affected her family, it did not stop her from making the decision that she did. Her baptism was a clear example of what Jesus said in Luke 14:26 to the crowds following Him. I do not think the gospel could have been preached anymore clearly or intensely that night.

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:26

It has been amazing to be a part of her journey since she came to Johnson & Wales University and she has just grown so much in Christ. The very same night as her baptism she also became a member of Grace Harbor Community Church. It has been a very exciting year so far for the campus ministry and this is just one of the many ways the Lord has been moving here.
