journey to the water

In Germany it's a big deal to get baptized. Now, actually GOD made it a big deal, when He decided that this was going to a be a "drama" that re-played out what Jesus actually did for us on earth to save our sins. And how we enter into that reality, spiritually-- going down to die to our old self, being buried & rising again.

Henning is my friend who got baptized today, and Kris (rt.), was his "baptism accompany-er" (translation from German), which means that he chose a special verse for this day and read it aloud to the church while Henning waited in the water.
The floor of our stage at church opens up to reveal a larger baptismal pool.
This was some of our friends who came to celebrate with him!
