Earlier today we had our Amazon River baptism. It was a God-drenched time as 3 members of the Yagua native tribe were baptized in the Amazon along with 2 young women from Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, Tennessee, USA, who are here with us on our jungle mission trip.
It is always challenging to perform a baptism in the mighty muddy Amazon, and today was no exception. The floor of the river was like quicksand. We had to twist and turn and contort and continually move around in order to keep from sinking in the loose, silty river bottom. Nonetheless, the physical challenges were well worth it as we baptized the 5 people in the river. We have now baptized about 20 people over the course of 2 baptisms in the Amazon.
Revelation 7:9 tells us that there will be people from every nation and tribe in heaven. This includes the 3 Yaguas and the 2 girls from Tennessee who were baptized today in the mighty muddy Amazon. It was an unforgettable time.
