Field Notes
Lighthouse Gospel Church in Stanley, Virginia
We rolled out to Lighthouse Gospel Church in Stanley, Virginia with the TC crew today. Pastor Earl Painter and the church welcomed us in to share testimonies and talk about the ministry.
Stanley sits on the east side of Massanutten Mountain in Page County. The guys shared their stories, we talked about what Teen Challenge is and how it works, and the church was warm from start to finish.
Their sign out front read "Because Jesus Lives We Can Face Tomorrow." Hard to argue with that.
Our program in Mount Jackson is only about 30 minutes from Stanley. If you're a pastor or church leader and you'd like us to come share, contact us.
