Yeah. Someting is wrong.

First of all it happened at the University Baptist Church in Waco, Texas,

Secondly, the church took this pretty hard.Perhaps foul play may not have been ruled out yet.

This morning, Sunday October 30th, our pastor Kyle Lake was involved in an accident during a baptism and was transported by EMS to a nearby hospital. Kyle passed away around 11:30am. Not only did we lose a pastor but we've lost our friend. Funeral services are pending and we will update the website as soon as we have more information.
There will be a gathering tonight at 8pm at First Baptist Church Waco which is located on the Corner of 5th and Clay. This is a chance for reflection, an opportunity to be with friends and to pray. There will be counselors available if anyone needs to talk to anyone.

We are confident that Kyle is in heaven today because of his trust in Jesus Christ as his Savior.

“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. “ -1 John 5:11-13

Please continue to keep the Lake family in your prayers.


Thank you,
UBC

Perhaps foul play may not have been ruled out yet.

The jolt could have come from several places. Perhaps the water rather than the microphone was electrified (as by leakage from heaters that keep the baptismal from getting cold). The microphone then being grounded provided the current path. Does the baptismal have underwater lights like a pool? Another source of current leakage. Someone using a cheater plug to plug a three-prong amplifier plug into an old two slot outlet, combined with electrical leakage existing in the amplifier's power supply. Or the amplifier plugged into a power outlet that has the ground prong wired to the hot side of the line. (Not even a GFCI can help in that situation.)

Foul play? More like demonic possession. Satan did not want this woman baptized!
