Our 54th Annual Banquet was a resounding success! 235 people were a part of this beautiful night where Bella Domani was filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit. We were able to celebrate lives changed and witnessed the power of restoration firsthand. From the heartfelt fellowship to the two incredible choir performances (the second of which had almost the entire room on their feet), it was a night that a lot of people won't soon forget!
Our community played a pivotal role in the banquet as we honored Gary Bell as "Supporter of the Year" and Randy Gates as "Alumni of the Year." Pastor Todd from New Beginnings Christian Center delivered an inspiring message, and a resident's heartfelt testimony brought the room to tears and a standing ovation. Rashad, Jackson, and Emily then shared valuable updates on the ministry's impact across all our centers. Looking around the room, there were dozens of churches and businesses that came alongside of us in an impactful way. And while there are so many that we would love to thank, this night would not have been the success that it was without our sponsors of the evening; Driver's Village, Grace Christian Fellowship, The Gathering Place, Ken Maag from Edward Jones, and Zoey Advertising.
But we can't leave out our Main Sponsor for the event: Christian Health Services in collaboration with Living Word Church, Driver's Village, Grace Christian Fellowship, The Gathering Place, Ken Maag from Edward Jones, and Zoey Advertising. We truly can't thank you enough for everything that you do for our ministry and the residents in the program!
Last and certainly not least, while we certainly want to recognize everyone that made this night special.... All the honor and glory has to go to God! We are so blessed by everything that He is doing through the doors of Adult & Teen Challenge. And as the theme of the event was Jeremiah 29:11, we have a future full of hope for all the exciting things that he has for us!
God bless you all!
