1st Spelman Baptism at GACC!    



Tamarra Head is an answered prayer for so many disciples in this ministry.  We have been praying and praying for a woman at Spelman College to be baptized for years. The ministry rejoiced as we gathered around the baptistry in our garage to see a new soul enter into God's Kingdom. Our prayer was becoming a reality before our very eyes.  Click here to see the video for yourself.  Here is Tamarra's conversion story:

I grew up in the church and was baptized around the age of seven. From my childhood up until now, I have always been the “good girl”, the one with great grades and a ton of extracurriculars, who always obeyed her elders and never smoked, drank, or had sex. No matter how much of a “good girl” and Christian I seemed to be, I knew deep down that something was not right. I constantly fought with myself during my last two years of high school, because no matter how much I had, I was never completely happy. I tried to shrug it off, thinking that college would be the solution to my problems. But my first semester was still difficult, because I found myself falling back into the same patterns as before.

After returning from winter break, I went to service at Sale Hall, where the Campus Ministry of GACC was having service. I can honestly say that every sermon, lesson, and study I have heard since then has been convicting to me. I realized that even though I called myself a Christian, my life did not align with God’s Word. The scariest part was realizing that I really wasn’t a Christian. It was a VERY VERY VERY difficult time for me to decide that I really wanted to live my life for Christ, because I did not want to let go of the things that were holding me back behind my “good girl” mask, like anger, pride, selfishness, and fear. It took some time for me to realize the depth of God’s love for me, especially once I came to terms with how much I had sinned against God. However, I love Him, and I made the decision to live my life for Christ because I know that even though I can never repay Him for all that he has done for me out of love, I can live my life completely for Him, no fear, because I love Him.
