MEET ME IN THE WATER – SUNDAY, MAY 3RD, 2026 | YATES CENTER, KS
Our family had quite the adventure this past weekend! On Saturday afternoon, we packed up our 15-passenger van (known as “Ruth”) and headed to Yates Center, Kansas for the Meet Me in the Water baptism revival at Still Waters Edge Retreat, hosted by Kayla Gabbard Ministry. We took out the back seats of the van and camped overnight in the parking lot. So much joy in this adventure!
As we walked up to the baptism area on Sunday morning by the private pond, we could feel the Holy Spirit moving powerfully through this ministry, and the servants who give their time to host it poured out the love of Jesus to everyone in attendance.
Our family of five walked in the water together, holding hands, as the staff prayed over us before we each individually got baptized. It was an amazing experience, one we will never forget! We are so grateful to the kind woman who offered to record our entire family’s baptism and I was able to get screen shots of parts of the baptism from the video.
Throughout our time there, we witnessed healings, deliverances and FREEDOM as men, women, children and families were baptized! Each baptism was a personal experience, no rush to get it done quickly, and prayer was offered to every single person.
This ministry of purity and obedience to the Word of God is evident as believers bury their old selves in the water and they are raised to new life again (evidenced by signs, wonders and miracles)!
Their ministry link is below. They travel all over the states as the Lord leads, to offer baptisms and prayer to searching souls. We honor this ministry and what they are doing for the Kingdom!
We are so thankful for this experience that breathed encouragement and inspiration into our family!
