The Teen Challenge Choir will present a program of gospel music and testimony at the Lutheran Church of St. John, 319 South Ave., Jim Thorpe, on April 2 at 5:30 during the Maundy Thursday worship service.

All are welcome.The choir is composed of young men from all over the United States. They are truly unique because every member comes from a background of drugs, alcohol and/or crime. Each member with his own story from murder to heroin addiction testifies to the miracle working power of God's love.The choir represents over 200 students residing at the Teen Challenge Training Center in Rehrersburg. Teen Challenge is the largest nonprofit rehabilitation program in the world with over 100 induction centers in the United States and has a documented 86 percent cure rate.The choir has shared its music and ministry in churches, on street corners, prisons, high schools, military bases, coffee houses and on radio and television.Lives of both young and old have been challenged and influenced by the work of God in these men. They have appeared in Washington, D.C. on the steps of the capitol and at the Washington Monument. They have shared their freedom in Christ in Philadelphia at the Liberty Bell and Independence Square.Those attending will be moved as they sing and testify of God's transforming power, which has delivered them from the perils of drug and alcohol abuse.
