April Poster Boy for God

I interrupt this road trip to bring you our April poster boy for God. Doesn't he have the most angelic hair? Angels have had their eye on this poster boy from a very young age. Indeed, he was chosen and protected by the Lord long before he chose God back.

At about 15 or 16 years of age, our poster boy was invited to a church barbecue and baptism at Lake Del Valle. He had not regularly attended church, but thought that the event sounded like fun. After a game of softball and the picnic, there was a baptism service down at the lake. The pastor gave an invitation for anyone who wanted to accept Christ and be baptized right then and there to step forward. Moved by the Holy Spirit, our poster boy found himself walking forward to receive baptism and in doing so, receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He didn't even know what he was doing, but God did! And it was no coincidence, but divine providence, that his future wife was there to witness the event that changed his life and has defined their lives together.

Chosen by the almighty God. Chosen before choosing back. Chosen to bring teens and young adults to Christ. Chosen to bear fruit for God's kingdom. And all our poster boy had to do was step forward and say, "Yes, I choose You back."
