Shane Lynch @ Bangor Elim

Was at Bangor Elim last night hearing Shane Lynch (formerly Boyzone) sharing his testimony. Really interesting and refreshing to hear him share in such an open and honest manner how the celebrity lifestyle wasn’t all it cracked up to, and left him ultimately in a state of depression having tried everything to find that high, being saved ultimately from the world of the occult. He didn’t go into a lot of detail of his experiences, but his conversion ultimately came about as the result of a Christian friend who stood firmly to his beliefs and “was Jesus” to him. He explained how the power of Almighty God that was now available to him was greater than any of the evil powers at work in this world, and how the joy he now experienced in Christ was greater than anything he had experienced. He is now living life to the full, having experienced the greatest love of all, and the transformation in his life is evident for all to see.
He has recently released an album, and is now touring venues throughout the UK sharing his newfound faith.
Local press gave him a good write-up as well which is nice to see
