WINONA LAKE — Award-winning Christian hip-hop artist Lecrae will soon speak and perform at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center on the campus of Grace College.

The influential rapper, often known for his music message frequently at odds with his hip-hop peers, has sold 1.7 million albums to date, including more than 325,000 copies of “Anomaly,” his latest No. 1 debut. In last year’s Grammy Awards, Lacrae was nominated for the coveted Best Rap Performance.

“Lecrae’s involvement at Grace is not only an exciting opportunity for students, but also for the community,” said Carlos Tellez, director of chapel at Grace College. “We are delighted to welcome Lecrae to the Grace campus and hope that the community will join us to hear his inspirational message both at chapel and during his concert. This is a do not miss event!”

On Friday, April 22, Lecrae will speak during chapel at 10:30 a.m. and perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capitol Center, 610 Wooster Dr., Winona Lake. Grace College chapel is free and open to the public.
