Last night was the second Tucson Fall Banquet. The banquet series takes a break today before resuming for three nights in the Phoenix area. (you can find out more here)
As you probably know, Teen Challenge of Arizona is my employer. I maintain the web site and do some YouTube videos. It is a very rewarding job as you can imagine as we see literally hundreds of boys, girls, men and women set free from drug and alcohol addiction every year. My small role of support allows me to tell some of the amazing stories of how God is saving lives through the ministry of Teen Challenge.
This years banquet theme is Rejoice! Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I will say, Rejoice!” The banquets are more then just our major fundraiser for the year. They are also an opportunity to share the amazing things that God is doing and to Rejoice! in them.
One amazing story I got to tell after Fall Graduation is that of Karami’s and how God not only saved her life and changed her forever, but also changed her Dad and her entire family! Karami and her family shared from the stage last night. While I didn’t record that, I can share part of their story with you via this YouTube story I put together at graduation in September:
Reasons to Rejoice! indeed.
