LBC Events

For this Sunday’s service, we hosted the men’s choir from the local Teen Challenge center. The program has been for men of all ages, not just teens, for many years. This choir had men from 21 to 49. (Photos are on the LBC Facebook page)

Dominic gave his testimony to start things off. He had been a member of Teen Challenge many years ago. He told of his very troubled youth, getting saved, and how the Teen Challenge program helped him develop a real relationship with Christ and put the old patterns away.  In between songs, a few members of the choir gave their own testimonies. They too, told of lives gone wrong as they relied on drugs or alcohol to fill their emptiness. One of them said, “but Christ is still resurrecting lives.” Through Christ, they have found the strength He promised them to become new creatures.

We were all blessed by their singing and powerful testimonies. God’s power to change people is amazing.

After the service, we held a spaghetti dinner for everyone. There was, naturally, a ton of great food. Even more special, was the continuing testimonies, one-on-one, at the tables as the choir members share still more of what Christ has done for them.
