Diamante Church Back Story - Part 2. Pedro Flores with his four boys greeted me with big smiles this past Sunday. One year ago, March 13, 2016, Pedro began to weep after I finished my sermon. He stated that he wanted to be baptize. Since there is no running water in this community, I immersed him in a barrel. It was wonderful to preach and see him present in the service and later pray this past Sunday. He told me that when his son (bright green shirt) was born 9 years ago without a lung, the doctors told he would not live 2 weeks. He then begged God to spare him and he would give his life to Him. Seven years later the church was planted in his community, he began to study and was baptized. Life is not easy for him; his wife left him and the 4 boys and moved to Guatemala. For a living Pedro shines shoes in the airport. All the same there he was, all smiles praising God. #baxterdiamantechurch #baxterbarrelbaptism
