Another U.S. church is reporting a massive baptism event as people are turning to Christ by the thousands across the country. From churches to college campuses, signs of a spiritual awakening are everywhere.
Last week we reported that Biltmore Church in North Carolina baptized 458 people, the largest single-day baptism in the church’s 137-year history.
Now, there’s another example, this time happening in Lakepointe Church in Texas, where 882 people chose to get baptized on September 27 as a declaration of their new life in Jesus Christ.
Senior Pastor Josh Howerton and Lakepointe shared a joint post about the exciting day on Instagram, saying, “There are few things more powerful than watching someone publicly say, ‘My life belongs to Jesus’.”
They pointed out that 882 isn’t just a number; it’s a representation of true transformation in people’s lives.
“That number is real people with real stories. People who have walked through addiction, broken relationships, doubt, loss, success that still left them empty, and still far from God. And now, they’re standing in the water saying JESUS has changed everything, and HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS. Never stop praying for one more to know Christ!”
