Mar. 22—Libby Assembly of God Church is hosting a few events next month about redemptive compassion.

The first is an inaugural celebration fundraiser at 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 12. The "Dessert Extravaganza" will feature keynote speaker, Lois Tupyi, author of "Redemptive Compassion."

Tickets are $25 each and may be purchased by calling 334-2016 or at https://www.loveincslc.com/inaugural-celebration-fundraiser.html

The second is a free workshop and training, held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 13 at the church. The special live event will be led by Tupyi.

The events are being sponsored by Love Inc. of south Lincoln County.

According to her bio, Tupyi is the author of Redemptive Compassion and three other books. She has dedicated over twenty-three years trying to better understand the biblical call to wholistic help and educate others through her years of hands-on experience. Her passion is to see everyone move into the fullness of life God has offered to all by helping in ways that lift people out of need, rather than sustaining them in their need.

Tupyi, an Idaho native, served as Executive Director of Love in the Name of Christ of Treasure Valley for 23 years before stepping down to further her efforts with Redemptive Compassion.
