LIBERTY — Gospel Lighthouse Prison Evangelism sponsored its first-ever Kids For Christ Rally on Aug. 8 at Rice’s Creek Baptist Church in Liberty.

Dr. J.W. Stansell presents a Pickens County Sheriff’s Office deputy with teddy bears Gospel Lighthouse Prison Evangelism collected for children.

Speakers included coach Brian Fuller from Liberty High School, youth pastor Trenton Kickery from the Warehouse Church in Easley and the famous God Squad. The event was very successful, and the children all had a great time.

The Liberty Fire Department provided a fire engine and a brush truck for the children to play on and to ask questions about fire safety, and the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office provided a patrol car, which the kids fell in love with.

Pistol the Clown provided entertainment and made balloon animals. Dr. J.W. Stansell, the founder and president of GLPE, presented teddy bears and other stuffed animals that GLPE collected for the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office.
