Baptism of Conner

Conner was baptized by his maternal grandfather and former Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) pastor John Davidson, May 16. Conner spent most of his life in Longmont, Colorado, although he has since moved to Loveland. Conner has been raised in an Adventist home and is a student at Campion Academy where he will be a sophomore this fall. He enjoys anything musical.

While in school, a teacher recommended that he read the Bible for himself and in the process, he developed a connection with Jesus who has since become a personal friend. Conner says that by being baptized, he wants to show the world that he truly is a friend of Jesus and that there is nothing in this world as important as serving Jesus.

His favorite text is Psalms 27:1 which talks about never being afraid with Jesus at our side. Conner encourages us that when times are tough, Jesus will carry us.

Baptism of Tita

Also on May 16, Tita (Dayanara) was baptized by Campion Church’s associate pastor of Worship and Evangelism Leandro Bizama. Tita was born and raised in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and will be a senior student at Campion Academy this fall.

She is fascinated by the subject of Psychology. Tita was raised in an Adventist family and wanted to be baptized now because she finally feels ready. To her, baptism means accepting salvation and being born again.

Her favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 1:18, which promises that we can be washed whiter than snow. She encourages us to never stop praying.

Baptism of Silas

Silas has just finished his second-grade year at HMS Richards Adventist School on the Campion campus. He told Pastor Bizama that he really wanted to be baptized before school got out for the summer, and so that’s what happened.

Silas had filled out an interest card during a Week of Prayer at HMS indicating that he was interested in baptism. Bizama did some studies with him, and he plans to continue studying with Silas as he grows. Silas was so very happy to take this step in his relationship with Jesus, and it looked like he was truly radiating with love for Jesus as he came up out of the baptism waters.
