Hi, I’m Samuel H Zhang, age 9 and a half. I’m the kid of Pastor Zhang. Today I’m going to get baptized and I’ll tell you why.
When I went to China in Feb. 2007, I went to my great-grandmother’s grave. Although I’ve never seen her, I saw a picture of her on the grave. My dad started praying. I was touched by my dad’s prayer. Later, I told my dad, “I want to cry” Then my dad asked, “Do you want to believe in God?” I said sorrowly, “yes!”. My dad’s prayer for me was to confess my sins, to do everything in God’s ways, following God’s law. Now, I was crying even more.
I prayed that prayer because I think, “If there was a God that sacrificed so much that I would have to love him with all my heart, soul and strength.”
I am going to get baptized. Baptism is a ceremony to let everyone know that I am a Christian! It doesn’t make you a better Christian. I’ll live a new life after I’m baptized. I also trust that God died for my sins!
