Matthew 3:16 - And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him

Dallas' Baptism

Picture
Dallas was baptized on the afternoon of Sunday, May 23, 2010 in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico at Henderson Beach State Park in Destin.  Pastor Steve Vaggalis and the Destiny Worship Center staff performed the ceremony as the emerald waves washed over Dallas and the 61 other believers baptized to a new life of following in the footsteps of Jesus.  By the grace of God, photographer Thomas ("Mr Jeff") Benton was taking pictures of the Destiny event and beautifully captured Dallas' baptism.   If not, we wouldn't have the powerful visual testimony of Dal's life given to God that now graces the homepage of this site.  Obviously, Mr Jeff is an incredibly talented photographer.  Dallas' family will be forever grateful for the photos he took of Dal that wonderful day in May.

Sunday, May 23rd... A Beautiful Day

After the baptism Dallas celebrated with christian friends Sam and Bruce at the Destin Bridge and Jetties.  They all attended church together later that evening to end a wonderful day of renewal for Dal.

Romans 6:4 - Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.


 

So long as we live, Dallas too shall live, for he is part of us.
