Zilker Baptisms

Two weeks ago, we had our annual baptism celebration at Zilker Park. It's moments like these when God reminds me - in a fresh way - of how privileged I am to be in ministry.

Hundreds of people gathered from our church. Hundreds more who were swimming in the springs paused and observed. And in the midst of the crowd, the Holy Spirit began convicting the hearts of two "spectators"  at the water's edge. They didn't even know each other, but they both inched their way closer to us. Tears filled their eyes. They wanted to know about this Savior we call Jesus. We shared the Gospel, and right there, in the midst of the people and noise and bursts of praise, they surrendered to Jesus.

Watch the VIDEO that captures it all.
