Last evening's service was a high point for me at Church Requel. I had the privilege of baptising two 17-year-old young men who both began attending CR when it was still a small group meeting in our living room. We have prayed often for Sean, especially, who has been through multiple brain surgeries as a result of cancer. Miraculously he has survived everything and is doing well physically as of this writing. We continue to pray everytime he has a follow-up MRI. Last week I took my video camera over to their home to capture their testimony for their baptisms. I was surprised when both young men told me that they could not recall ever praying to receive Christ. I asked them if they would like to do so while we were recording and they both said, "Yes." Last night we played those videos before they were baptized. Afterward our entire small church surrounded both young men in love and congratulations for their baptisms and professions of faith. With their permission I share this 6-minute video, which includes their testimonies, their baptisms, and the brief celebration that followed during the Church Requel service.
