Freedom Life (FL) Church will kick off 2024 with Freedom Nights - three consecutive nights of revival services on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Jan. 3, 4 and 5, 2024, beginning at 7 p.m. at Freedom Life's main campus, 447 Noble Road, Christiana. 

The events will feature upbeat worship, biblical teaching and special guest speakers. The community is invited to attend the services, especially newcomers to the church. "We want to kick off the year and dedicate the first part of it to the Lord and bring people together for worship and encouragement to set the course for the year," said Angie Dearolf, FL communications director.

Israel Campbell will be the featured speaker on Jan 3. Campbell co-leads Flourishing Church with his wife, Rachel, in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Campbell is also author of "The Art of Sonship." Campbell's messages are known for their humor and practicality.

Featured on Jan. 4 will be Josh Payne, who co-leads Victory Church with his wife, Marcia, in a rural area of Troy, Pa. According to Dearolf, the size of the church is larger than the population of the town. Payne's message will focus on leading individuals to hope and salvation. Payne believes that living for Christ is about making the most of everyday life.

Myles Rutherford will be the final speaker in the program on Jan 5. Rutherford co-leads Worship With Wonders Church with his wife, DeLana, in Marietta, Ga. Myles and DeLana, who have a strong Pentecostal background, are authors and recording artists and have made appearances through various media outlets, including the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).

"Israel and Josh have been to Freedom Life before. They are in a network with Sam Masteller, our senior pastor," said Dearolf. "This is Myles' first time coming to Freedom Life. We are looking forward to hosting him. We have heard some of his messages and think that they will benefit the people who come to hear them."

Simultaneously during Freedom Nights, FL Kids will host a winter vacation Bible school (VBS) for children in fifth grade and younger. The three-day VBS theme is "The Incredible Race." Children will go on a worldwide exploration to discover God's love for people from all nations. The 90-minute program will include games, activities, crafts, snacks and fun music. 

"The kids will have a blast learning Bible stories that still apply to our lives today," said FL Kids director Gina Turk.

"Families love to have a program for the kids - so it's an event for the entire family," Dearolf added, noting that the revival has been held for the past several years. "We do get a good response, and people are excited to start things off in the new year on the right foot. People want to come for a fresh beginning."
