Baptism: Maria Copas-Santos
Before Maria came to Christ, she was desperate for love. Without a father figure in her life, she was looking for love in all the wrong places. At the age of 17, she found herself in a bad relationship. At 18, she was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter. The father of her baby left her shortly after. He took everything with him and told Maria she’d never be anything without him. Her world was shattered, and she was alone.
Baptism: Dan Davis
Dan’s life felt hopeless, tragic, and difficult before he came to Christ. His first year of college was especially challenging as he moved away from family and was introduced to alcohol. Over the next several years, he became reliant on alcohol. This impacted his grade point average and resulted in him getting a “notice of academic dismissal.” At this same time, he went through a relational breakup, and moved back home.
Baptism: Maggie Nye
Maggie’s life was a struggle before she came to Christ. She grew up in a Catholic church and didn’t study the Bible at home. She can remember herself at the age of 7, attending church with her mom. They were at the various “stations of the cross” when it hit her that Jesus died for her sins.
