Stories from the Field

A First-Generation Believer

Over the summer, Church Without Walls celebrated baptisms. Among them was 17-year-old Max.

Two years ago, Max attended a teen summer camp hosted by Church Without Walls, where he heard of Jesus for the first time.

Over the following two years, through the church’s ongoing teen ministry, the seed of faith grew in Max, and he put his trust in Christ. This year, Max decided to be baptized.

Max is a first-generation believer in his family. He regularly comes to church and is involved in the teen ministry. We praise God for those who are willing to be bold and take a step of faith in following Jesus, even when they are the only ones to take a stand for Christ in their families or communities.

Pray that he continues to grow in his faith through the support and encouragement of the church and that God’s work in Max’s life will make a difference in the lives of his family.
