Today I was baptizing in the Jordan River. A first for me. One of those baptized was 80 years old. Pretty cool, really.
It is quite something to tour these sites. Many of those present are here for the first time, including my wife. They really enjoy the experience.

It’s a great website.Congrats.
Darrell,
I just saw a video of you baptizing people in the Jordan river. Is baptism envy scriptural???
:)
Have a wonderful time!
I am just visiting this website for the first time and i would like someone to please explain to me what the Heck "yahweh" is supposed to mean. Are you all ashamed to actually say the Lord's name on your website? I was taken back to see the lack of backbone you seem to have regarding the LORD JESUS CHRIST. I was just curious as to the reasoning behind the usage of this word. Your explaination would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty simple. The name of God was given so that we might know him. Yahweh is the Hebrew name of God. The one who called the disciples and said we are God's children could call God Abba (Father) shows that there is nothing to avoid in calling out His name. This is not informality or lack of respect, but reflects how God draws close to His people.
