09/28/09  —  "At just nine and ten years of age, they came home filled up with the joy and love of God…"

I can’t begin to express to you my gratitude for a life-saving and life-changing experience at your Summer Family Bible Conference.

During the conference, both of my young boys were water baptized, and they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. At just nine and ten years of age, they came home filled up with the joy and love of God. I know they will forever remember the conference and all that they learned and received.

Also, I had been praying for my husband’s faith and that he would desire a personal relationship with Jesus. One of your prayer ministers at the conference explained to me that love conquers everything and to minister love to my husband (thumping him over the head with my Bible had not been working!). During phone conversations with my husband while at the conference, I could tell that the love I was receiving at the conference was rubbing off on him. I committed to a ministry of loving him and trusting in God to provide for his spiritual growth. I came home thrilled for God, and it is now clear that my husband is seeking to learn more about God and to take on more of a spiritual leadership role in our family. This Sunday morning, he and our boys read the Bible together—which is the first time the three of them have done this together.
