This historic gathering, hailed as the largest single-day baptism event in the nation’s history, is a beacon of hope and a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith in our lives.
The “Baptize California” event, now in its second year, saw an impressive increase from last year’s 6,000 baptisms to a record-breaking 7,750 this year. This surge in participation underscores a growing hunger for spiritual renewal and a return to the foundational values that have long underpinned American society.

I’m living proof and I’m blessed to be one of his daughters.” Her words echo the sentiments of countless others who have found solace and strength in their faith, affirming the life-changing impact of a personal relationship with God.
Recording artist and worship leader Sean Feucht, who was present at the event, captured the spirit of the day, stating, “What good can come from California? Well, today the world will witness the largest recorded baptism in history! Revival is taking over Huntington Beach and it begins at noon!” His enthusiasm and commitment to spreading the message of revival are a testament to the power of collective faith.
This gathering was not limited to a single church but was a unifying force for believers across the nation, all coming together to fulfill the Great Commission as outlined in the Bible. One participant expressed his joy, saying, “I’m so happy. This is the greatest feeling, coming up out of the water. The new beginning starts today.” His words encapsulate the essence of baptism—a symbolic act of rebirth and a fresh start in one’s spiritual journey.

- The U.S. has threatened military action and aid cuts over violence against Christians in Nigeria, raising deep concerns among researchers and faith advocates.
- Experts warn that reactive measures could harm Christians further by increasing division and insecurity, and call instead for long-term engagement to address root causes.
- The Fulani herdsmen have killed more Nigerian civilians than other extremist groups, with observers urging disarmament, targeted aid, and stronger action against those granting impunity.
Tensions between the U.S. and Nigeria have intensified as violence against Christians continues to escalate. Faith-based leaders urge policymakers to seek solutions that protect innocent lives and encourage unity rooted in Christian compassion.
Calls continue for American engagement that supports institutional stability and respects religious liberty, rather than divisive responses that risk worsening unrest. America is reminded to champion both justice and mercy as it seeks guidance on these pressing global challenges.
“If the Trump administration follows through on its threats of unilateral military action in Nigeria, it risks endangering the Christians that it claims it wants to protect,” Onubogu told the sub-committee.
“Instead of being reactive, the U.S. should focus on proactive long-term engagement in Nigeria that prioritizes institutional support to address the root causes of instability rather than just responding to crisis.”
“They are an unsophisticated but nevertheless lethal force because they come armed with AK-47s and 49s while their targets have only home-made pipe guns to defend themselves with.”
“Millions of the victims of Fulani herder militias are in need of humanitarian assistance for physical and psychological trauma. They need food aid since they have been driven from their farms,” Shea said.
Through steadfast prayer and clear-eyed action, believers are called to advocate for Nigerian Christians and seek solutions that uphold religious freedom, strengthen families, and preserve the right to worship without fear.

- A Church of England school in Dorset discouraged singing songs from “KPop Demon Hunters” due to its demon-themed content.
- The headteacher emphasized upholding a Christian environment and respecting the spiritual concerns of some families.
- After parent feedback, the school clarified that no disciplinary action would be taken and encouraged mutual respect for differing beliefs.
Lilliput Church of England Infant School urged families to uphold biblical values by addressing concerns over a popular animated film with supernatural themes.
The acting headteacher explained that references to demons in the movie conflicted with Christian teachings about resisting evil and honoring faith.
“For some Christians, references to demons, even in fictional or humorous contexts, were spiritually troubling and could be viewed as contrary to a faith that teaches children to reject evil.”
The school affirmed that parents are free to make their own decisions about media at home, but highlighted its commitment to creating a faith-focused environment for all students.
Some parents objected, describing the guidance as unnecessary, yet the school reiterated that encouragement toward Christian morals is at the heart of its mission.
The school updated its message to recognize the diversity of beliefs and confirm there would be no penalties for children enjoying or performing songs outside school time.
Respect for each family’s values and fostering a spirit of understanding remain foundational principles.
