A Double Heavenly Celebration

In a remote area, where finding a river or a lake is sometimes almost impossible, the Lord once again proved that He is never limited by circumstances. 

A woman, 25 years old, deeply touched by the power of the Gospel, received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Her heart was ready, her decision was clear. She wanted to be baptized. But there was one problem, no river, no lake, no baptistry. In human terms, it looked like a mission impossible. 

That is when God did what He does best. He inspired a servant. Through a simple, almost ordinary, inspiration, the missionary had a bold and brilliant idea to create a homemade swimming pool for baptism. No tiles, no modern equipment, just faith, obedience, and a God who shows up. And as always with God, the miracle did not stop with just one person. 

Nearby, her 17-year-old sister was watching. Touched, moved, and fully convinced, she also decided to give her life to Christ and was immediately baptized as well. 

Sometimes, all it takes is an “unexpected baptism” to produce a double heavenly celebration. We give all the glory to the Lord, because in these deep and often forgotten areas, where there are few preachers and few missionaries, souls were exposed to the living and powerful Word of Jesus Christ. These people abandoned alcoholism, immorality, and their former way of life to embrace a new life in Christ. Today, the entire family serves the Lord with determination, joy, and enthusiasm. 

This story reminds us that when there is no river, God creates a pool, when there are no resources, God releases inspiration. and when hearts are ready, heaven rejoices. To God alone be all the glory! The Gospel continues to move forward, even in places where people thought there was “nothing” except God.
