Many months ago a woman named Rhonda came in to our clothes closet who was desperate, fleeing a very bad situation. She needed professional clothes for interviews, and was able to get them through our clothes closet ministry. We helped her in some small ways as well at other times.
Rhonda had told me about a very kind older man named Pete deLackner who had helped her. She had talked with him about being baptized. And yesterday, she called me to tell me that he was ready to do this. He was baptized into Christ yesterday at 2:00 PM. Our staff and one of our shepherds, Bill Green, gathered together for this celebration.
I'd like to Dalana Squires, our Clothes Closet coordinator, who showed such kindess to Rhonda. Also thank you to those who have served in the clothes closet and given financially through clothing donations or Harvest Sunday
What a wonderful story of how others whom we have helped are reaching out to people. The gospel spreading from person to person--kind of sounds like the book of Acts, doesn't it? Praise God!
Isn't this a great story?
