I have just returned from an extensive trip visiting Teen Challenge centres in Atlantic Canada, Alberta and Saskatchewan and am happy to report that God is at work changing lives and setting the captives free - right across the nation!In Atlantic Canada, as a result of the generosity of youth groups in the Greater Moncton Area, young people raised funds to help purchase a new much-needed tractor and snow blower! Cudo's to the young people in each church who raised funds to help purchase this equipment!
In Saskatchewan, the men's centre celebrated the graduation of four young and older men who completed the 12 month program. At the graduation, each one stood and testified how the power of the Lord has set them free. Many TC grads from years gone by attended as an expression of support. Additionally, the audience was packed with monthly sponors and donors who came to show their support for the young men in our care and those graduating.
In Alberta, great plans are underway for the National Teen Challenge choir to visit Alberta April 7-26 touring churches and auditoriums to raise awareness and support for this ministry. More information will be available March 1, 2010 at http://www.teenchallengechoir.ca/
Suffice it to say, without the generous faithful support of so many friends of Teen Challenge coast to coast, we would not be able to do all that we do to help each person in our care. Thanks all our friends, lives are being changed and transformed for eternity!
If you have a piece of equipment one of our sites could use, feel free to give us a call or drop us a note. That's it for now. You can reach me at george@teenchallenge.ca or 1-888-417-7777 Ext 1240.
