Proclamations

Normally on a rainy night, people stay inside. Normal people want to stay dry. Not the case with my group here in Burlington...although come to think of it, normal college students wouldn't give their summer to know Jesus more. Wednesday night was a special night. In the midst of a downpour, we went to one of the beaches here....lined the beach with umbrellas as we celebrated with friends who were proclaiming their faith in Jesus by being baptized. The original plan was that 3 of our students would get baptized. After the 3rd person got baptized, another girl ran into the water. And so it continued until 8 people got baptized. What a sight! We've had the students give their testimonies each night after dinner...so we've had the chance to see what God has done in their lives. How amazing to then see them make this step...knowing how God has so visibly changed them. They are leaving Vermont in a much different way than when they arrived. I love these students who aren't normal...but how I wish they were the norm.
