Mylon LeFevre, leader of the Christian rock band Mylon and Broken Heart, believes along side all other Christian entertainers that contemporary Christian music is a vehicle, or a tool of the trade. He feels it is to be used to present the gospel message to the world. Since 1986, Lefevre has seen many times over 52,000 people commit to the gospel message at his concerts alone. All of these entertainers have an intense desire to share the gospel account, and help the children of today cope in a violent world. Kids who come to Christian concerts are not always perfect cherubs who grew up in a church all of their lives or have never been in trouble.
Children come telling their shocking stories of drug abuse and attempts of suicide.
Most often, they are looking for a way out of their situation and feel they have no one to turn to. Christian events, as those mentioned, help to get young people pointed in the right direction that will lead them to the solution to their problem. Not all of these adolescents will become totally committed, and some will in time return to their old life style. Nobody will ever know how many of them will make another attempt to regain control of their lives, but several of them do. I had the pleasure of working with, attempted suicide twice before committing his life to Christ.
