Tamara is continuing her progress in the Lord as she devotes herself to weekly Bible lessons with us. Currently, her studies are based on the TLC (The Love of Christ, which results in Tender Loving Care) study guide written by Richard Rogers and Bill Yasko and revised by Dot Yasko, a 13-week lesson study for new Christians.
Wednesday night we met and encouraged Tamara to study who was one of Dwan Reed's friends. She was thrilled and Dwan accompanied us. We studied forgiveness and obedience to Christ. It was clear to her that she was short of her obedience and needed to be baptized to complete it. She did not want to wait as either did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. So upon her request and sincere confession of faith in Christ, she was immersed into water and into Christ's death by Jason Freed. The congregation stayed after services to witness such excitement. View the pictures to see the baptism, congregation's love and welcome.
This summer our family was invited to teach VBS in Roger City, Mich., August 8-15. We flew with members from the Church of Christ in Champions and stayed with members of the local congregation. We taught stories from Elisha and Elijah.
