Night to shine is a prom centered on God's love fro people with special need for ages 14 and older.  The event is hosted around the world and is hosted by over 350 churches in 50 states and 11 countries.

In the small town of  Maylene Alabama, Community of Baptist hosted the event where the turnout was absolutely amazing.
