How a Brazilian Nanny Led Actor Stephen Baldwin and His Wife to Jesus"Now we're in a particular time in the world's history where it is time that people stand up for Jesus, that people get more aggressive and radical how they communicate with our culture about Jesus. I believe I have a calling ... to stand up in a new and hard core, radical way for the Lord. In the process, if I insult a couple of people, if I offend a couple of people, and if I got to shake it up a little bit, as long as it is led by the Holy Spirit, Amen." -Stephen Baldwin
The youngest sibling of the Baldwin acting clan accepted Jesus in the aftermath of 9/11. But the wake-up call only came after a Brazilian nanny was singing about Jesus in Portuguese to the Baldwin's baby in front of Stephen's Brazilian wife, Kennya. "So, we hired this lady from Brazil named Augusta, and the whole first week she's working for us she's singing in Portuguese, which she only spoke that language with my wife," Baldwin told CBN. Kennya suddenly realized whom the nanny was singing about. She went to Stephen and said, "Do you hear what she's singing about? She's singing about Jesus." After overhearing the singing a few more days, her curiosity could not be contained and she approached the nanny directly. "I noticed your singing, and I'm wondering why every song is about Jesus?" Kennya was taken aback when Augusta burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" she asked. "Quite frankly, I think it's a little bit funny that you think I'm here to clean your house." To Kennya's amazement, she explained that through a prophetic word, she was told that if she went to live with the Baldwins, Stephen and Kennya would one day come to faith in Jesus Christ and be involved in ministry.
But Baldwin was not impressed or moved about what appeared to him at the time to be religious gibberish. "Didn't faze me for a second," he said. "Raised Roman Catholic up until 11 or 12. Didn't stick. Went out into the world and did my own thing." Kennya was [the] first one in the family to receive Jesus. After spending much time talking about Jesus with Augusta, Kennya attended a Brazilian church in New York City, seeking answers and learning more about Him. As time went on, Stephen became curious and felt drawn to God and began asking questions. Then 9/11 struck. Click here to continue reading this story in its entirety.
