These are the words that were shared at Camp Luz before the baptism. Keep in mind these are the words of a 10 year old boy-that he read with confidence and clarity. I can only imagine what God has in store for this gifted little man with such an old soul :)
Good morning everyone, my name is Logan Boney and I hope
everyone is having a great morning. I am so excited to be here with you all
today because I am here to share something very special, my testimony. 6 years
ago my nana passed away, it was then that I decided I wanted to follow Jesus.
It was a very difficult time for me and my family, we all loved her so much and
we miss her dearly.
I was very thankful for all of our friends, family, and
church family, who supported us during that difficult time. After my Nana
passed away I remember seeing my mom crying and I went up to my mom and I told
her "I love you and Jesus loves you" I told her "it's okay to
cry and be sad because Jesus will carry you through but don't live in darkness
nor death, just live in the light and follow the lord for he is always with you".
My mom hugged me and thanked me and she told me I was an old
wise soul, I hear that a lot. Later that year my mom was baptized and it was
then that I decided I wanted to be a part of Smithville Mennonite Church.
I want to be a part of this church for two big reasons, number 1-I have always felt Gods love through
all of you, and number 2-you are all so kind and forgiving, and you have been
there for me since I was very little. I would like to thank you all for
everything you do for me and my family. I feel very blessed to have you as my
church family.
For my closing, I decided to tell you my favourite bible
story instead of my favourite bible verse because there are too many. My
favourite story is Jonah and the whale, the reason I chose this story is
because after Jonah got swallowed by the whale, he prayed and prayed and prayed
to Jesus. Then Jesus was so forgiving he let Jonah out so Jonah could do his
work. My point for picking this story is to never give up on faith or on Gods
tasks, and to never stop praying. So please remember, always be a light for
Jesus. Thank you very much!
