GUADALUPE BEACH, CA – A trip to the beach for one man ends up sweeping him off his feet!

Benito Flores had a ‘washing away’ experience of his own, while baptizing a man at Guadalupe Beach near Santa Maria, California.

Flores was helping his cousin with the baptism, Pastor Maurigro Cervantes, when a surf-sized wave came crashing on top of them.

Pastor Cervantes says, “A big wave came and then it took Benito…and then I tried to take him to pull him out, but he was heavy and then another big wave came and took him.”

The man being baptized, who is unidentified, and the pastor ended up swimming back to shore.

With helicopters and boats, the U.S. Coast Guard search all day and night for Benito, but he was nowhere in sight.

Eventually the search is called off, leaving Benito’s family now worried what news the morning tides may bring in.

The moral of this story is if you go to the beach and you can’t swim or walk on water, wear a life-jacket!
