Last Summer in Chiselet there was a baptism. Everyone met at the church earlier than usual and we went down to a little lake on the outskirts of the village. As we went down the road, we sang the Romanian version of "No Turning Back," the same song that I remember singing at my own baptism. Some of us were riding in carutsas, a cart-like, horse-drawn wagon. The driver was shouting to people along the way things like "Come to the baptism!" and "Praise the Lord!"
As I was photographing the baptism, I turned and saw someone fishing in the lake. It reminded me of when Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James and John. He said, "Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men."
I was privileged to watch these six people declare that they have decided to follow Jesus and will never turn back.
