CCM is a Godsend for bringing youth into church. I have attended CCM festivals and have personally witnessed 12,000 youth confessing with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their Savior. CCM festivals bring Youth into a setting where they can see on a massive scale that their faith and commitment to Christ is shared by others in their peer group and they are not alone....as our public schools, Government and mainstream culture would lead them to believe.
According to Race Bannon these kids are grieving God because they have gathered to worship Him at a CCM festival.
