Join with us June 9th as we welcome some of the San Antonio Women’s Adult and Teen Challenge team members and hear how Jesus has changed their lives.
Teen Challenge was founded in 1958 by Pastor David Wilkerson who began ministering to drug addicts and gang members on the streets of New York. A recovery home was started shortly thereafter. Teen Challenge came to Texas in 1968. There are now close to 200 centers in the United States, and over 1000 centers worldwide in over 90 different countries.
“Our dream is to put hope within reach of every addict or at-risk youth by offering life transformation through our caring, Christ-centered programs. Through our proven solutions for life-controlling addictions, our hope is that every Adult & Teen Challenge student will become a productive member of society. Mentally sound. Emotionally balanced. Physically well. Spiritually alive.”
Adult & Teen Challenge is a faith-based solution for the drug epidemic. The scope of Adult & Teen Challenge has grown over the years, and now serves adults as well as teenagers. Typically, these services are long-term residential recovery centers which provide a life-encompassing environment through which the participant is able to change their lifestyle and develop a plan for a future free from addiction. Another core tenet of Adult & Teen Challenge is drug abuse prevention, which educates young adults on the dangers and reality of drug abuse in our society.
The ladies will also have a craft table set up before and after the service that will showcase items for sale that both the men and women in the program have made.
