On September 14, 2007 Mars Hill Church held a mass baptism on Alki Beach. Many of those who were baptized did not get a public opportunity to share what Jesus has done, and is doing in their lives. The following story is a testimony of an individual who was changed by Jesus and baptized that day.
 

My name is Gabriel Gangon and I am 9 years old.  I accepted Christ as my Savior in the first grade. It was Holy week at school and my teacher Mrs. Arlin led me in prayer to accept Jesus.  After we prayed my heart felt pure. I know God loves me because he sent Jesus to die on the cross for me. He also has given me great family and friends.  He has taught me to be loving to others, even my brothers. My favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight”.  This verse has taught me to lean on God for everything.  There is nothing too big or little for God.
