Oh redemption!

Julia, our youngest daughter, met Jesus in France. She knew about Him before that, of course, but she gave her heart and life to Him there as she struggled in several different ways. I will never forget her baptism on a public beach in Antibes.

Patrick asked her if she loved Jesus and if she had made Him Lord and Savior.

"Yes," she answered.

He baptized her in the Mediterranean Sea in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. When she came out of the water, her face shined with joy.
