Antonio Washington was baptized at Lighthouse Youth Center, Milwaukee, Wis., on April 1. Washington attended a four-week baptism instruction class with 31 of his peers during Lent. He and two others were to be baptized on Easter Sunday; however, Washington’s family was going to be out of town. “He was sad,” says James Buske, pastor at Lighthouse. “He thought he had to wait an entire year—until next Easter—to be baptized.” After learning he could be baptized anytime, Washington was baptized on Palm Sunday. Two others—Donovan Butler and Tatyanna Smith—were baptized on Easter.
