Quick update on the Elkhart Teen Challenge Cook-out:
In November of last year I found out Elkhart has a Teen Challenge in our city. I was excited and immediately began to pray for the Lord to connect us together. I have always held Teen Challenge in high regard. One of my hero's of the faith, David Wilkerson, founded the ministry back the late 1950's and I have heard so many great deliverance testimonies from people through the years about Teen Challenge. There are hundreds of TC centers in the USA.
TC is a faith based rehabilitation program for men- eighteen years old and older. It is Christian discipleship based program, with the goal of “freedom in Christ!” The guys going through the program are in the program for 12 to 18 month and it has an incredible success rate for staying free from satan's bondage's! Amen!
So after about after two weeks of seeking the Lord about connecting with this ministry, I just happen to cross paths with Mark Howel the Evangelistic Coordinator of the Elkhart Teen Challenge. (How cool is that!) Ha!...We both were coming out from ministering to the men in different jail cells. I call that a God appointment!
So that was the start of how the Lord connected us together. These brothers at TC have been part of the outreaches- serving and evangelizing. I have seen the fruit of what the Lord is doing here and it is amazing!
It was on Jodi my heart along with my Mom and Dad, to have a fellowship with the group. So, this last Saturday was our get together and we had a great time! We had some awesome fellowship!! Over twenty of the guys came to our house as we prepared a time of swimming, fun, cook-out. But not only that, we had some great praise and worship, a time in the Word of God and one of the brothers got water baptized. It was a great day!

It was a pleasure to encourage these brothers to keep going after
