The Tribe of Levi is a traveling ministry that shares a message of being set free in Christ. The Tribe of Levi has been delivering this message to churches and groups all over Kansas and has now begun delivering the good news in other mid-west states. This band of brothers is made up of all former inmates, who have found freedom in Christ. Most of them served time together in Kansas prisons at some point during their incarceration. And, over half of them were a part of the Brothers In Blue Re-Entry program formally known as IFI or Interchange Freedom Initiative.
Every time I watch Brave heart I love to hear the speech that William Wallace gives to the Sons of Scotland persuading them to fight the English army for their freedom. Wallace's speech is so persuasive, the first time I heard it I felt like getting a sword and joining them.
William: I am William Wallace. And I see before me an army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Soldier: Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live.
William: Ay, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom.
Our society loves freedom. America likes to see itself as the land of the free. Free country, freedom of religion, freedom to vote, freedom to work anywhere that will take you, freedom to purchase what you want from where you want. In fact in our society the ultimate punishment is the deprivation of freedom through imprisonment.
Does our society truly understand FREEDOM? Not if Christ is not in the equation.
Christ gives us our freedom so that we are free to follow him and love others. Freedom from badges, freedom from the world and our own flesh. Freedom to love.
What will YOU do with that FREEDOM?
As William Wallace sought to do something about the plight of his fellow man, so have we, the Tribe of Levi, decided to do something about the plight of our fellow man. And, as William Wallace was a soldier of Scotland, the Tribe of Levi, are soldiers of Christ.
The Tribe of Levi is a group of formerly incarcerated Christian brothers, who have formed a ministry (January 2014) that focuses on preaching freedom through Jesus Christ.
Now that our chains are gone, and we have been set free, both literally and spiritually, we want to spread that freedom to others.
We do this through the playing of our instruments, singing by the power of the Holy Spirit, and skits that provide profound insight to real life experiences and responses that we Christians will face in this world. We invite all people to join us in the joy of our music and drama. We pray that those who hear our music and see our skits will be blessed and spirits revived and that those who do not know Jesus will come to know Him as their Lord and Savior through our ministry. That they will be "SET FREE".
The Tribe of Levi's songs and skits can and will inspire people to seek God, have God's word and Spirit revealed to them, encourage them to read the Bible, and give people a sense of peace, joy, encouragement, hope and most importantly proclaim the good news of salvation with power. As His messengers, we are being used by God to accomplish all of these things. The spirit of God is evident when you see and hear the Tribe of Levi.
The Tribe of Levi is ready to go wherever the Spirit leads as God is able to do abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Hallelujah! If you would like to have us visit your church, whether it be to lead your church service or for a special event/revival, please contact Eric or Stacee Hendrickson, or Carl Carnnahan - The Tribe of Levi's General Manager.
If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
