All Kinds Of Baptisms!
Yesterday was a historic day at Flamingo Road Church, as a woman named Alyssa became the first person ever to be baptized as part of the Internet campus!
Alyssa was in Georgia; her stepmother-in-law, Lisa, physically baptized her; Alyssa's bathtub was used as the baptistry; and FRC Internet Pastor Brian Vasil presided over the baptism from the FRC main campus in Cooper City, Florida!
It's amazing and exciting to see how we can use and leverage modern technology for God's glory!
It's also amazing and exciting to see the many different ways in which FRC is now baptizing people. Cooper City and other Florida campuses use the traditional baptismal pool; the Internet campus does it featuring the Internet Pastor in Cooper City and the baptism candidate somewhere else in the world; and here in Peru we use the Pacific Ocean and the Amazon River! In fact, in just 2 weeks we'll be baptizing a group of native tribespeople from 2 tribes in the Amazon River, and in just 4 weeks we'll be baptizing another group of FRC-Lima folks in the Pacific Ocean!
Whether it's via the Internet, or in a baptism pool, or in the Pacific Ocean, or in the Amazon River, God is always smiling any time that one of His children is submerged into water and then rises up afterward, echoing what Jesus did for us 2,000 years ago.
