Self diagnosys... FLU

Thursday, February 28, 2008

I brought back a huge Flu from OKC. It's been a while since a get sick, I almost forgot what it felt like... not fun at all. Here I am after 4 days in town and still not feeling well.

I think all the over eating while away is keeping me alive this week. I might have had one good meal since Monday, and it is not because Grecy has refuse to cook for me.

Hopefully I will better by the weekend. I'm taking it easy as much as I can and trying to rest, drink lots of fluids and some over-the-counter meds for the fever.

God's best to you all,

Igor

First Internet Campus Baptism

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

It was a historic weekend at Flamingo Road Church because we experienced our first baptism through our Internet campus. Our baptizee was Alyssa, who the Holy Spirit nudged to follow Christ and be baptized;

she sensed His nudge and obeyed. But since Alyssa lives in Georgia and we are a thousand miles away in South Florida, what do you do? Enter the power of innovation…

Our Internet Campus Pastor, Brian Vasil, was the voice; Alyssa’s step mother-in-law, Lisa, was the hands; the bathtub was the baptistery. For a month, Pastor Brian worked with Alyssa to prepare her for Baptism; and then yesterday at 4pm it happened. In a bathtub of water, as Brian spoke the words, "I baptize you in the in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit," Alyssa’s mother in-law immersed her into the water and the whole thing was live streamed over the Internet. It was amazing; it was the first of many.

Again, through baptism, the picture of what Christ did for us--birth, death and resurrection--portrayed to the world.

Technology leveraged for the kingdom…and while the computers buzzed, Christ smiled.
