Our nation appears to be on the brink of moral bankruptcy. We see a rapid decline in morality, faith, and mutual respect coupled with an increase in perversion, crime, and violence. One doesn’t have to look far into our past to see that the trend of our nation is moving toward a serious cultural and spiritual demise. The music, books, movies, internet, and television are key indicators, and as a military officer who swore to defend this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic, it is painful to watch what was once a “nation under God” become a nation that is speedily rejecting God. This puts the followers of Jesus in quite a dilemma… how then do we as believers in Jesus Christ live a life of faith in such a compromised world? Join Chuck for lunch as he shares four fundamental truths to help guide us through the chaos.

Corrie ten Boom: A Light in Dark Places with Vickie Gaynier

• • Saturday, June 17th, 5:20–6:10pm

No Cost: included in your family’s full conference pass

During the years of WWII, in the time of Hitler’s persecution of the Jewish people, Corrie ten Boom and her Christian family fearlessly hid hundreds of Jews in a secret place in their home. Betrayed by a neighbor, Corrie and her family were taken to suffer at Ravensbruck concentration camp where Corrie’s beloved sister Betsie died. Shortly after Betsie’s death, Corrie was released and went on to full-time ministry that would take her around the world proclaiming God’s love and forgiveness to all who would hear.

Vickie Gaynier will portray Corrie ten Boom in her own words and appearance as Corrie would have spoken and looked at 85 years old. Come and hear the testimony of Corrie ten Boom as we witness the faithfulness of the Lord God in a very difficult time of history.
