However, this Sunday was the week following the campaign which is usually a down week. Adding to that fact was the city of Lincoln marathon that takes place the first Sunday of May every year. The marathon makes travel to our church very difficult as we are boxed in by the route that they use. It has over 12,000 runners in it, which adds to the difficulty of the travel.
We prayed hard and God blessed our services anyway with several visitors and a few return visitors from the campaign. We had two make public professions of faith and follow the Lord in believer's baptism today as well. One of those is Jack Diaz pictured in the white shirt with myself and his brother Edward who is a member of our church. I preached this morning on "Christ is Touchable" and Jack fell under conviction. I praise God for Jack coming to Christ and then getting baptized!
