Atlanta Church Baptizes 2,576 in Two Days

A vibrant church in Atlanta, Georgia, baptized 1,441 people August 16 and 1,135 more by the end of the next day.

In a “glimpse of glory, 2,576 lives laid down their past and rose into the promise of new life. This is the power of the gospel,” 2819 Church wrote on Instagram. “Through a resurrection emerged His beloved. Shame did not survive the water. Chains did not rise with them. What we witnessed was holy, eternal, and the Lord’s endearing love…. Shame buried. Bondage broken. Old identities left in the watery grave, new creations made in Christ.”

Named for Matthew 28:19, 2819 Church‘s vision is to share the gospel with the lost and disciple believers “until all have heard.”

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Jesus, Matthew 18:19-20 ESV

“When I went down into the water, it wasn’t just a dip—it was a burial,” Ananda Monea wrote on Instagram. “My sin had me in chains, keeping me trapped in a life that could never satisfy…. When I rose up out of that water, it was resurrection. Just as Christ conquered the grave. This is a celebration of my full surrender, a moment that publicly proclaims I am no longer defined by my past but by who I am in Christ Jesus; it’s a declaration, an outward symbol of what God has already been doing within me.

“Whatever ‘fun’ you think you’re having in the world, I promise you—Jesus is better. I say this as someone who was of the world and has now been set free,” Ananda continued. “Being ‘of the world’ means living for the things of this world — chasing pleasure, approval, or temporary satisfaction rather than living for God and His ways. It’s when your heart and actions follow the world’s values instead of His. Allow Him to set you free!“

Army of God, we have been praying here at PrayerWall.pw for an awakening to Christ in this nation and across the world. It’s happening now.

The World Awakens

Father God, please protect these new believers and ignite them with passion for Your Word. Set them free from the chains that have bound them to strongholds of sin, tear down every wall to oneness with You, and empower them by Your Spirit to spread Your good news with those around them, drawing the lost to you like moths to a flame.

Lord, we see You moving, the way You’re pouring Your love on hearts in the USA and all throughout this world. Thank You, Jesus. We ask You for more! O Father, pour out Your love in increasing measures and unprecedented ways over our churches, our families, our friendships, and over every heart all across this Earth. Don’t leave even one heart dry. Save the lost. Heal the hurting. Bring the ruthless to their knees. Lift up the lonely. Mend what is broken. Set the sinners free.

And begin, O Lord, in me. It is Your love we crave. Satisfy me now with that everlasting flow that never runs dry, that love poured out on the cross that purifies, transforms and sets us apart, glowing with Your glory. Ignite all of our hearts now with such love now. Make us Your love-and-truth-spreaders, history-makers by Your hand, planting the seeds of Your Word in the hearts of everyone around us, and watching those seeds take root and grow unto salvation. Because that’s what You do, Lord. You Love. You forgive. You heal. You save. Awaken us to Your love.

“You heavens above, rain down My righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.”

Isaiah 45:8 NIV
