(ETH) – When seven soldiers said they wanted to get baptized, the military chaplains at Fort Irwin in California made it happen. According to a report from Faithwire, News of the spontaneous baptism was first shared in a Facebook post Monday morning by the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division.
“With no chapel or equipment to facilitate, our chaplains came together and created a makeshift tub at the National Training Center/Fort Irwin and got the job done,” the division wrote.
“Makes my heart happy! Thank you, chaplains, what a blessing! Welcome to the family of God! Thank you for our troops! God bless each and every one of you! I pray God’s protection around you all!” Another added, “This is awesome! Best decision they will ever make.” READ MORE
