On a beautiful September Sabbath a mother's prayers were answered. Danelle (Nellie) Hignight’s re-baptism is both an ending and a beginning.
It is the ending of resistance and walking away from the voice of the Spirit, and a beginning of a Spirit-filled, committed relationship with God that has changed her life.
Nellie’s husband, Jeremy, and daughter, Kamri, and her parents, Cliff and Debbie Herra, watched as Nellie went under the chilly waters of the St. Joe River. Their St. Maries Church family surrounded them and sang her request “Shall We Gather at the River” as she was led into the river by Pastor John Pierce. Her church family praises God for Nellie and her family.
