2 Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I am Elder Gregory Hughes, Pastor of True Life Ministries, Inc. One of God s greatest mandates requires that we, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. This has been one of our finest traditions for many years and this year we are honored to celebrate our 20 th Anniversary hosting the Open Water Sacrament of Baptism Ceremony in the Atlantic Ocean on St. Simons Island in Brunswick, GA. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you and your church family to join us on our annual pilgrimage to the beautiful St. Simons Island for our open water baptism. Since 1997, God has allowed us to baptize over 1000 men, women, and children from various backgrounds and walks of life, into the body of Christ. We have greatly impacted the lives of thousands simply by doing what God called us to do. In the last few years we have drawn global attention from renowned photojournalist, Jim Lo Scalazo, a Washington D.C. based photojournalist with the European Press Photo Agency and Miss Caroline Davis, a pre-eminent river baptism photographer. As with last year, this year God laid it on my heart to extend the invitation to other believers to join us in this call. Please consider partnering with us. We need you to travel with us and help us go to the next spiritual level. I pray you will attend in person because this live water baptism experience has proven to be a phenomenal life changing experience for everyone. We will also assemble a Mass Choir that will minister in song during various services and also during the Sacrament of Baptism. Please consider being a part of this ministry as well as attending the workshops that will be scheduled during our time in Brunswick, GA. Registration and volunteer details are enclosed. For more information and ways you can help, please visit our website at or send to contact@truelifeministriesinc.org. God bless you, Elder Gregory Hughes
