Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. (Colossians 2:6-7)

That's 𝟑𝟔,𝟕𝟎𝟔 people who said yes to Jesus.
36,706 moments someone went under the water and came back up new.
36,706 families changed.
36,706 eternities redirected.

And here's what makes it even more remarkable —

At Mt. Gilead Church in Indiana, over 40% of those baptisms were performed by non-staff members.
At Sherwood Oaks Christian Church, 80% were done by everyday believers.
At Rise Christian Church in Ohio, 88 different people baptized 134 others.

Not the pastor. Not the staff.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.

This is what the church was always supposed to look like.
Every member a minister.
Every believer a witness.
Every ordinary person capable of being the hands that bring someone into the family of God.

You don't need a title to change someone's eternity.

36,706 times last year — somebody proved that.

The church is not dying.
The church is baptizing.

And this — this is worth celebrating.

Acts 2:41 — "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day."

1 Peter 2:9 — "You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation."
