Back track to February 25, 1996.
I remember exactly where I was on my 9th birthday. It was a Sunday and I was standing in the baptismal at my church. My dad talked about how on the day I was born, there were 5 people in the room. And on this day, when I was being born again, there were 200. He baptized me that day, and almost 15 years later, I still remember it as one of the best days of my life.
Fast forward to February 26, 2010.
I’m on the World Race, and I’ve just spent the past month watching my teammate and dear friend Emily walk through an insane amount of freedom. She decides to get baptized on her 26th birthday, in the Philippines. And our teammate John will be baptizing her.

Fast forward a little more to October 23, 2010.
My teammate Jordan expresses his interest to be baptized on his birthday. And once again, John will be baptizing him. We search in Macedonia for the perfect place. It was a beautiful day in the mountains, but the water was a little cold. Two other teams from Skopje come up to celebrate with us and him. And so on his 25th birthday, Jordan joins the club.
