If music is the universal language, then it makes sense that LifeLight would use this tool to reach people’s hearts as they proclaim Jesus’ name.
On Wednesday night at the Lyon County fair, “Life Light,” with help from several other Christian music groups, brought this message to the fairgrounds.
“From the very beginning, the heart of LifeLight has been to reach people with the truth and revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” said the spokesman, Josh Brewers.
Changing course from the annual large festival, LifeLight now holds smaller, one-day festivals, both in the United States and internationally.
“Our regional festivals bring music, speakers, and action sports into local communities, sharing the love of Christ and hosting a positive, safe atmosphere for youth & families,” said Brewers, CEO and President of the group.
“It’s a recurring theme to hear back from each city that the people attending our festivals are people who would chronically avoid church. After coming to the festival, they are now seen plugging into the local Church,” Brewer said.
“In every city we have seen prayer tents filled and lives changed after the alter call was given. We are praising God for so many changed lives,” he added.
Brewers quoted, Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Brewers shared the message, “With a willingness to be open and honest with my own testimony.”
As CEO and President of LifeLight, Josh also has a passion to see the nations transformed by the saving knowledge of Christ.
He knows that worshipping God is not simply about church, but about going out into the streets and rescuing those that have never heard of Jesus, whether that is in America or in other nations.
He talked about how he had an alcoholic father who rejected him and mother who walked out — and how he got into drugs and stole cars. Yet, walked into a church and the pastor went to bat for him — even in a court of law. Eventually Brewers was released the the church and pastor took him under their wing and eventually he came to Christ.
The music, most of it original, played to the tastes of the audience, which was not packed, but was substantial.
It was a moment away from the regular Festival celebrations going on all around the Lyon County Fair.
This was something new at the county fair — but judging by the messages, the huge crowd and the enjoyment of the music, it appears to have been a success.
But it was also a moment when hearts were changed, people were filled with the Holy Spirit and hearts were open to the message of salvation.
