Small Georgia church performs 8 000 baptisms in 17 months

Originally published in Charisma News

In 30 years of ministry, Pastor Todd Smith says he’s never seen God show up the way He has the past 17 months at Christ Fellowship Church in Dawsonville, Georgia in the United States.

He says God’s power has obliterated cancers, swept away disease, shattered alcoholism, caused marriages to reconcile and mental healing to manifest in the church’s baptismal waters.

In fact, word of these miracles has become so widespread that Smith and his staff have performed more than 8 000 baptisms since February 2018.

People have flocked to the small town of Dawsonville just northeast of Atlanta—with a population of only 3 500 —from across the country and around the world. People have flown in from more than 20 countries worldwide to experience the supernatural power of God in Dawsonville.

“I’m not talking about headaches, toe aches and tummy aches. We’re talking about major medical and emotional issues,” Smith told Dr Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network.

“Folks are entering the water, and Jesus is touching them in the water. I’ve never seen anything quite like this in my entire life.

“I’ve never seen the power of God manifest in such a way in the baptismal waters. And this a baptismal revival. People are finding out about it by word of mouth. The testimonies that are coming forth are about real life change, and people’s lives are being saved.

“Again. I’ve never seen the power of God like I am at this moment. And people, as soon as their foot enters the water, the fire of the Lord begins to touch them. Many of them lose the ability to walk forward, and others, when they get baptised, they get slain in the spiritual power of God that comes upon them. They can’t find strength in their legs, and they will just collapse right there in the water. Many of them are baptised with the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues.”
