Baptism: Matt Welstad
Before Matt came to Christ, his family went to church regularly. As the only deaf person in the family, he didn’t get much out of church because that church didn’t provide interpreting. There was no spiritual connection accessible to him, so he checked church off the list.
My First Christmas: Dylan Walshvelo
Before knowing Christ, Christmas was always about gift-giving and presents—there was little emphasis on faith. But since trusting in Jesus this past February, Dylan has a new understanding of Jesus, his birth, and everything that means for him. The idea of Christmas really hits him differently now that faith has really become a part of who he is.
