From Lost to Found: Meet Carmine

Baptism is more than just a symbolic act; it's a powerful declaration of faith and a life-changing step in following Jesus. Through baptism, we publicly proclaim the transformation that happens when we surrender our lives to Christ. It's a beautiful reminder that through His death and resurrection, Jesus has wiped away our past and given us a fresh start. In the waters of baptism, we experience the profound truth that Jesus doesn’t just improve our lives. He completely transforms them, bringing hope, freedom, and a renewed purpose. So allow us to introduce Carmine, a man who went from lost to found.

Carmine's Jesus Story: Going from Lost to Found

Before Jesus

"I was raised Catholic. I believed in God but I didn’t really have any kind of relationship with Jesus. I thought I had everything going for me. I had money, a great job, wife and a son - everything a guy wanted. But then my wife wanted a divorce, I lost my job, and I ended up living with my parents. Looking back, i was lost in so many ways"

But Then...

"I found a job, moved out of my parents to a new home, and I met Rhonda. Together we found True North Church. After much studying, prayer, and support from church members, I began to realize something incredible. I had been looking for something, for someone. That person was Jesus. Here I developed a relationship with Jesus."

Because of the Transformative Power of Jesus

"I have found the peace that I had searched for all my life. Now I am passionately pursuing Jesus as I follow him daily."

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

The story of Carmine is a testament to the incredible power of Jesus and the transformative significance of baptism. Jesus meets us in our brokenness, redeems our past, and fills us with peace and purpose. Baptism symbolizes this profound transformation, a fresh start, a new identity, and a life rooted in the hope and freedom only Jesus can provide.
