Our Dear friend’s of FGGAM Paul and Rene Dokken of South Dakota visited the the Traditional site where Apostle Paul baptized Lydia.
Thank you for the picture Paul! What a blessing! PRAISE GOD! Paul said that they felt a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit at this site. I feel the peace from here!
Paul knows that the Apostle Paul is my hero, so he also is praying that I get to walk the footsteps of Paul one day!
We thank the Lord for all our friends here at FGGAM! We are family in the Lord! Praise God! If you have a picture to send us please do! We would love to hear from you! pastordewey@fggam.org
Acts 16:11-15
New International Version (NIV)
Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi
11 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis. 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district[a] of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatiranamed Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.15 When she and the members of her household were baptized,she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
