Mason in the Jordan River

The Yardenit Baptismal site, Where Christian Pilgrims from all over the world come to be baptized or reaffirm their faith in the Jordan. Caden and Mason had not been Baptized, and this was something I wanted to have done while we are here in Israel.

If you are with your church than you would be with your Pastor, Reverend, Minister or some other Christian clergy who can Baptize.

We aren't here with our church, We don't belong to a church here either. We stopped by hoping to join in on a Baptismal (People say if you ask... Excuse me, we would like to receive the lord...can we join you? For obvious reasons any man of the cloth would have a hard time saying no) This was my plan !!! The only problem was we went there on a really,really slow day for Pilgrims! Suddenly I found myself staking out the place for a Baptizer! The Yardenit is a place people come to see even if they are not getting baptized. It is the spot believed to be where Jesus was baptized ,they have a nice fish restaurant and huge gift shop so many people were coming in and out for other reasons SIGH! I kept saying to Eric do you think he is a Pastor ,what about him etc...

Finally a man came walking in with a small group swim suits in hand : ) I knew that was our only chance!!! I politely asked... he said he would love to ! Turns out the nice man from Australia is a International Chaplin for the United States Military and a Non denominational Christian ...Just what I was looking for. The boys have now Baptized in the River Jordan
