Good Friday Chapel at Teen Challenge




Teen Challenge is a residential Christian recovery program that is geared towards life recovery for men eighteen years and older who have struggled with addictions- drugs and alcohol being the predominate vice.
Pizza meal is always a hit!!

 We had a great time connecting with Teen Challenge of Elkhart for the Good Friday Chapel.  It is always a blessing to be with the brothers, to share a meal together, pray together, worship and get into the Word. We totally enjoyed it!!
 
A big shout of “thanks” to all the lifeline team for serving and ministering the love of Christ to all the guys at Teen Challenge. Also, a big thank you to the director Andy Collins and all the staff of North Central Indiana Teen Challenge- you guys are doing a great work of discipleship and we are seeing the fruit. Amen.
"Out of the Dust" lead the worship time!
Also, it was awesome having the band “Out of the Dust” at the Chapel minister with us as they ministered in worship- we love these brothers heart and sound we especially appreciate their love for Jesus. Plus they are gifted and talented.

Brother Lance bring the Word!
Our good friends Lance and Leigh Lance Prathaftakis were with us, they have an awesome love for the Lord and an extreme passion for souls. Leigh ministered in song and Lance brought a word straight from his heart; the Lord moved in a mighty way- as several were touched during the altar time in prayer

FIRST BLOCK-PARTY OUTREACH OF THE YEAR MAY 3RD

La Casa Estates Apartments - up town Elkhart, IN


We have our first block party outreach of the year coming up on May 3rd. And we are excited! I am expecting an incredible year of outreach to the lost. We know without a shadow of a doubt that we are called to minister and reach out to those who are lost and without Jesus.
We praise God for those who go over seas- Amen! We also know that we have a mission field right here where we live. It’s our work place, our neighborhoods, in the market place; it’s also our town and our cities. We say do it Jesus! Empower us to reach those who don’t know You.

Great to be teaming up with Teen Challenge!!
We are excited to be teaming up with the ministry of Teen Challenge, a Christian-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation discipleship center. They house around twenty-five guys from age eighteen and older and it is going to be awesome having the whole center taking part in this outreach.

We have been able to really connect with these brothers here in Elkhart, lead by Director Andy Collins and the awesome staff. Many of the guys will be testifying at the outreach on their deliverance and freedom they now have in Christ. The Teen Challenge Praise Band will be playing music at the event and one the staff will be preaching a message of salvation to the community. So we are excited!! It’s going to be good!

Love and Servant hood
We will be reaching out to a low income apartment complex, La Casa Apartments. This is a very urban inner
city apartment complex. We have had the opportunity to have two previous outreaches at this location that have been incredible. There is always a lot of foot traffic in this area as it is located up town Elkhart. We will again be setting up right off of Prairie Street just over the railroad tracks.

We plan on getting a bounce house to be a blessing to the kids and draw families to the event. We will be giving away free hotdogs, grilled cheese, chips, cookies, and punch. We will have face painting, balloons, free Bibles, Christian books, live music, testimonies, preaching and witnessing the love of Jesus. It is going to be a great time. We so appreciate your prayers! Ask God to draw them in! Amen!

Showing the love of Jesus in a tangible way!!
Also, we would love to have anyone who is reading this to please come out and support this event. You can either come and just check it out, maybe eat a hotdog or grilled cheese, or jump on in and help us serve a hotdog, clean a table, help with face painting a child. Or maybe jump on in witnessing and evangelize to those who need Jesus. Please feel invited we would love to have you join us. We love connecting with local churches and teaming up.
