In the United Kingdom, fresh signs of spiritual awakening are on display after a simple social media post led to a mass baptism in the ocean.<\/p>\n
It all began when Merlin Kraft posted a video of a baptism on his social media channel, BibleLadUK. The response was immediate, with viewers asking, “Can I be baptised like this?”<\/p>\n
After consulting with his pastor at Calvary Chapel Plymouth, Kraft organized a series of baptism events.<\/p>\n
The response exceeded expectations as hundreds of people from across the UK traveled to Bigbury-on-Sea to take part.<\/p>\n
During the gathering, more than 170 people were baptized in the ocean, publicly declaring their faith in Jesus Christ. The event drew believers from a variety of backgrounds and highlighted the growing hunger for God that’s been seen around the globe in recent years.<\/p>\n

A woman on the beach took one of the free Bibles and later decided to be baptised. A young couple travelled from Leeds and walked for hours to reach us. One man travelled alone from Ireland, and an older lady came all the way from Fife in Scotland.<\/p>\n “Then there were the countless other stories \u2014 people with difficult pasts, new believers, families and ordinary men and women simply wanting to stand publicly and say: ‘I belong to Jesus Christ’.”<\/p>\n SIGNS OF REVIVAL ACROSS EUROPE:\u00a0<\/p>\n CBN News has produced a documentary on how the Lord is working in the lives of young people across the U.S., too.
