Florida’s beaches, the California coastline, the Texas Gulf and rivers in the Midwest have become the epicenters for a massive baptism movement that kicked off across the country this weekend.
On Saturday, thousands joined revivalist and Core Group leader Jenny Weaver on the shores of Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida, to praise and worship Jesus Christ during the “Summer of Baptisms” event.
As CBN News reported, Weaver had asked members of her Core Group ministry to simultaneously host baptisms in Louisiana, Tennessee, California, Texas and Missouri.

“The Lord spoke to me and He literally said, ‘Summer of Baptism’,” she shared in a Facebook video. “I saw us going to different places and doing baptisms.”
More than 2,000 people signed up for the event across the country, and many hundreds were baptized.
Weaver said what took place was, “Absolutely a move of God!”
Hundreds were baptized at Pirates Cove Beach in California.
In Ozark, Missouri, 130 people publicly gave their lives to Jesus Christ.
And in Tennessee, 45 people were baptized.
Attendees have shared footage from the events and have remarked that what took place changed their lives.
One person, who attended the baptismal event at Siesta Keys, shared that one beach bystander decided to give up alcohol and give his life to Jesus on the spot.
Weaver previously told CBN News that having the baptisms on the beach on a holiday weekend was a strategic assignment from God.
“When you use those holidays to travel, you get those people who are at the lakes and beaches for the holiday. So the whole purpose is to (reach) the lost,” she shared.
