A lot of you have read this story about Samera. She was baptized Sunday night. She said she had given her life to Jesus and wanted to make it known.
Samera is almost 18. She had her baby two months ago, but is still with us here at the Promise House. There are a lot of uncertainties facing her. But, one thing is sure. She’ll never have to go it alone.
The preacher began his baptism spill “Samera, is it your confession that . . . ” and she turned and looked at him directly in the face. When he finished she said “yes”.
Amen.
