Pathfinder Anointing Leads to Baptism

By Shirley Maxwell, Shirley Maxwell, September 22, 2014

Elizabeth Condie says her four years in Pathfinders allowed her to meet “some pretty amazing people.”

When her Pathfinder club went to Astoria, Ore., in 2012, she was so excited. In addition to a fun time, her anointing made it really special. After she was anointed, she started to think seriously about being baptized. Condie says this decision has changed her life forever. Grace Coneff studied the Bible with her and helped her through the process.

Chris Evenson, Nampa Church pastor, baptized her on June 7 in the presence of the church family and her Pathfinder friends. The baptism was celebrated with a potluck, sponsored by her fellow Pathfinders. Her church family welcomed her with open arms.
