When the lake is frozen, how do you baptize someone?

Writer: AaronAaron

Here in Alaska we have some unique challenges.


It may be Spring but that doesn't mean it's terribly warm yet. This week a group from Colorado came up to Tanalian Bible Camp for a small group retreat. During one of the morning sessions, a member of their group accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and savior and desired to be baptized!


Only 18 inches of ice separated her from that desire. Andrew and I were asked to help fix the problem. With a chainsaw freshly drained of bar and chain oil, we found a shallow spot on the bay and opened up a 4x6 foot hole. I was surprised that this happens often enough that we have a standard plan in place at TBC!

Praise the Lord for this public confession of faith and for His saving grace!
