Two Teens From Children’s Homes are Baptized
The word “dependence” doesn’t sit well with many people, and especially not with Americans around July 4!
But we think you’ll agree that “dependence” is a beautiful word as it applies to our relationship to God. Christians are, after all, those who come to recognize that every element of their lives has been affected by their acceptance of God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. That is, our only hope is in our total dependence upon Him.
Two teen girls in our care testified to their acceptance of that offer Sunday night, when both were baptized at the Main Street Church of Christ in Walnut Ridge (AR). It marked a very special day for both girls — their “Dependence Day,” if you will — and it began each girl’s journey of faith toward an eternity with God.
At Children’s Homes, we’re extremely proud when the young people in our care decide to make such a commitment to Christ. Each person they encounter on our campus strives to model authentic Christian living to these young people in hopes of helping them see the beauty of a life dependent on God.
