There is nothing more exciting to me than celebrating Baptism!  I love the imagery, the public profession of faith and the tangible picture of lives transformed by Jesus.

That’s why just last week I led a series of brand new webinars called “7 Ways to Increase Your Baptisms” (more on that below – including how you can watch a free recording).

And that’s also why I enjoy hearing about how God is blessing Baptism at churches all over the Church Leader Insights family.

Here’s an email I got just recently from Mike McGown – one of my Advanced Coaching Alumni and Senior Pastor of Parkway Fellowship near Houston, Texas:

Hey Nelson!

Thought you might want to know that I preached an entire message on baptism yesterday at church and offered a chance for people to be baptized immediately after each of the services.

We baptized 56 people yesterday, including 4 first-time guests!  Additionally, we had 35 sign up for baptism for the next week and an additional 15 scheduled for baptism on the afternoon of 8/26.

Total of 106 people that will be baptized in 3 weeks!

That doesn’t include the 29 children (5^th grade and under) that will be taking a baptism class next Sunday.  Those that are ready will be added to the list to be baptized on 8/26 or the month after.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for sharing Mike – 106 Baptisms in 3 weeks… Go God!
