Social media influencer uses platform to witness the Gospel
post on social media sparked a major outpouring leading to a mass baptism in the UK recently. A social media influencer, Merlin Kraft, who goes by Bible Lad UK, started the event with a simple post on social media. Kraft posted on his page a video about baptism. The video led to questions by followers; those questions later snowballed into a mass baptism in the ocean. The social media influencer, under the guidance of his pastor, then held a series of baptism events at the ocean. People from as far away as Scotland came to declare Jesus as their personal Savior and publicly declare their faith through baptism. By the end of the event 170 people were baptized as a public declaration of their faith. Kraft did not comment on whether he will host another event but discussed some highlights from the day on his social media page.
