Lake Region — On Apr. 6, Peterson-Warren Academy conducted a very special service for six of its students. In the fall of 2003, Ken Dixon, University of Michigan campus ministries chaplain, conducted a Week of Prayer on our academy campus. As a result of the Holy Spirit’s efforts, a number of students joined the baptismal class conducted by Chaplain Dixon and Albert Rodgers, math and English teacher. Six young ladies made their decision for baptism.

LeAnna Pointer, 10th grade; Ashley Bowden, Angelica Landrum, and Jennifer Walker, ninth grade; JaQuese Hawkins and Michelle Bowden, eighth grade, were baptized at the Sharon Church in Inkster, Mich.

Prior to the baptism, a brief service was conducted with Chaplain Dixon preaching a sermonette on Naaman and the necessity of cleansing in preparation for heaven. After the baptism, the students, faculty, parents, and visitors welcomed the new members of the family of God into the fellowship of believers.
