Bethel’s Lighthouse Church, in Long Lake, WI made a donation to Praise in the Pines in the amount of $1,000.00.

Congregation member Kim Ritchie challenged the church to match her donation, which Bethel’s Lighthouse accepted, and donated additional matching funds.

Praise in the Pines is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization hosting a first-ever Christian Music Festival on July 21, 2024 in Eagle River, WI at the Northland Pines High School field house.

Praise in the Pines has secured not only esteemed international speaker Bob Lenz but also the acclaimed Dove Award-winning contemporary Christian band Big Daddy Weave.  Organizers anticipate over 2,000 people gathering for an unforgettable evening of music, worship, and inspiration.

Proceeds from the event are being reinvested in the community. Among the beneficiaries is Esther’s House, a facility supporting single moms with children.

“Praise in the Pines is grateful for the support of Kim Ritchie and Bethel’s Lighthouse Church,” remarked Bill Lochte, event organizer.
