Baptism: Mak Hayes

Mak had always believed in God, prayed to him, and understood who Jesus was. But she’d always had faith questions that she never put the effort into getting answered. 

A shifting moment happened when she was involved in a car accident where a young man around her age was injured. His mother showed up as he was being led to the ambulance. The mom, who Mak did not know, approached her, and instead of asking probing questions or trying to blame someone, hugged Mak and told her that God loved her.

That mother’s example of Jesus’ love and forgiveness made Mak stop and realize she couldn’t do life without Christ. From there, she began to read the scriptures and build a community with other believers. Now, she has a sense of peace in her life and a greater purpose.
