WHIF/Palatka, FL (Hope FM) GM Robin Robinson checks in with HisAir and this amazing story about how a tragedy sparked revival in her community/
Robin shares, “A couple of weeks ago, a 16 year old girl died following being struck by lightning while out hunting with her dad. Prayer rallies were held, first to pray for her healing, then for her family and friends. Each time teenagers would come to know Christ. In a few days around 200 people were saved! She was beloved by all: cheerleader, youth group leader, and as the football coach said, “Baylee was everyone’s favorite.”
“Everyone came to learn of her tremendous faith and how she invited all the kids at school to church, how she modeled praying and living the Christian life! People of all ages in our community determined they’d follow in her example of living a life of faith.”
To accommodate the number of people saved, a community baptism was held at the river in the center of town. 170 baptisms, 30 pastors representing 15 churches and several denominations, and crowds of people watching, worshiping God, and helping make sure each one had a church to follow up and care for them.
