LONGVIEW, TX, Feb 4, 2009 -- LeTourneau University will host singer, songwriter, and author Michael Card in chapel service at 10:25 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 18, in the S.E. Belcher, Jr. Chapel and Performance Center, 2100 S. Mobberly Ave.

Card became popular through music with songs such as “El Shaddai,” and has authored or co-authored more than 14 books, hosted two radio programs, and written for a variety of magazines. Overall, he has recorded more than 20 albums, selling over 4 million, and written more than 19 No.1 hits.

“The one thing we strive to achieve is to reach people where they are,” says Card. “Someone who is impacted by music may not be affected by reading a book, someone who loves reading might not care about talk radio, but by providing all of these things, whether it's my work or the work of someone else, there's a greater chance of reaching more people, who in turn will reach out to others in their own community.”

All chapel services are free and open to the public.
