Tri-Cities Community Prayer Breakfast with Pastor Chad Roberts and Charles Billingsley

From the team that brought you the Tim Tebow Tri-Cities Prayer Breakfast, we invite you to hear Pastor Chad Roberts, a pastor who lost his eyesight and never stopped preaching.

Your ticket includes a free copy of his new book, Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness, newly released.

This morning is for anyone ready to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that God is still at work, even in the dark.

Pastor
Chad-Roberts

Chad Roberts founded Preaching Christ Church in Kingsport at age 20, starting with just 10 people. Over the next two decades, he traveled to more than 40 countries, training leaders and sharing the gospel.

In 2017, while on a mission trip in Central America, blood vessels burst behind his eye. Two surgeries failed. Fifteen months later, he lost sight in both eyes completely. Doctors at Duke said there was nothing they could do. Chad has been leading his church blind ever since.

He is the author of several books, including his newest release, Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness.
