Teen Challenge Christmas Chapel...It was an awesome night!!




I just want to shout out a huge “Thank You!” to all who prayed and gave toward for the Lifeline/Teen Challenge Christmas Chapel. This was our second annual event and it was marvelous! We absolutely love the Teen Challenge ministry. A big shout out to Andy Collins the Director of the Northern Indiana Teen Challenge and all the staff, they are doing a tremendous work ministering to men who are coming off addictions. What I love so much about TC is that Jesus is first and center- they preach and teach that He is the way of deliverance. Amen.

That being said, it is always a pleasure and an honor to bless the ministry and especially to be part of the Friday Chapel services. (please see the picks posted below)

We started the night with a pizza dinner (amen!-this is always a nice way to start..lol). Then we entered into pre-service prayer. The way we were lead to do the corporate prayer was to have several different people come up and pray. We had several topics that we gave each person to pray and let me tell you, this was some powerful prayers! One of the cool things about this, was we asked a few of the Teen Challenge students to pray-and they were awesome! Very anointed and powerful!

After the prayer time we all entered into praise and Worship. The band “Out Of The Dust” was ministering in music and it was incredible! There guys are not only gifted and talented, they are extremely anointed. The presence of God was so strong as we all praised and worshiped the Lord. I totally love these brothers and their humble hearts.

After worship, I delivered a word the Lord put on my heart entitled, “The Young Son” this was from the parable Jesus told in Luke 15. I shared four points from this message. 1. The Young Sons thought life. 2. Famine entered the Young Sons life when he left the Father. 3. Coming to his senses -The Young Son’s repentance. 4. The Fathers Response.

After the message, we opened up the altars for personal prayer, repentance and to seek the Lord. Several students came forward to cry out to the Lord. The Lord moved in a powerful way as God was touching many lives and dealing with hearts.

We ended the evening by having some awesome deserts and blessing all the students with a Christmas Gift bag- filled with commissary items, a cross necklace, a wrist band, some snacks and an awesome book by David Wilkerson. The guys were very appreciative and thankful. It was an incredible evening!

Thanks so much for your prayers…
