What a powerful night at the Section 2 & 3 Youth Rally in Johnston City!

“The Day Lucifer Praised Jesus.” — An incredible word preached by Brother Alex Perry!

Thank you to everyone who came hungry for what God wanted to do. It was so encouraging to see students from across Southern Illinois worshipping together, responding to the Word, and seeking after God.

We’re thankful for every pastor, youth leader, volunteer, and young person who made the night so special. We believe God is doing something incredible in this generation, and we’re excited to see what He has in store!
