BOL Weekend Held in South Bend, IN
The Breath of Life Weekend in South Bend, IN, held on June 7-8, was an uplifting event that brought together the local churches for a time of spiritual revival and fellowship. Themed “Excuseless,” the weekend aimed to inspire attendees to live their faith boldly without excuses.
The event commenced on Friday night with a vespers service at Praise Fellowship SDA Church, where Pastor Debleaire Snell, Speaker/Director for Breath of Life Ministries, delivered a powerful sermon. His message set the tone for the weekend, encouraging everyone to embrace a life of purpose.
The spiritual momentum continued into Sabbath morning with a Divine Worship service, again featuring Pastor Snell. His compelling sermon, resonated deeply with the congregation, reinforcing the “Excuseless” theme and challenging individuals to press forward on their knees to receive by faith what God has for them. Adding to the worship experience, gospel recording artists Stephen Manders and Decree performed, filling the church with uplifting and soulful music.
The weekend continued with lunch, a youth rap session, BOL Town Hall and concluded on a high note with a concert by Stephen Manders and Decree at 5 pm.
The weekend event was a significant boost for the area churches, bringing together the community for a time of shared worship and fellowship.
“We were grateful to receive the invitation to spend the weekend in South Bend,” said Pastor Snell. “I was excited to go there because it is where I begin my ministry training at the Praise Fellowship Church while a student at Andrews University.
He continued, “The pastors and churches in South Bend are passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ and we hope to start a tradition of supplementing their evangelistic efforts.”
