More lives will be changed at Teen Challenge because of your monthly support

Last year was a 'banner year' with over 75 young men and women (and some older ones too!) who graduated from our centres!

This represents another milestone - an ever growing volume of graduates year-over-year. Certainly all the thanks goes to the Lord - He is the only one can who permanently change lives!

But thanks also goes to a great team of staff, volunteers and donors, who without their sacrifices and tireless efforts, these good things would not be possible.

In addition to these good things, it's encouraging to know that more graduates than ever are pursuing post secondary education and going on to be doctors, dentists, bio-chemists, pastors and many other worthy endeavours. One graduate recently told me that he wants to pursue bio-chemistry to understand DNA better and to launch a 'creationist ministry' one day. Some great goals indeed!

Of course, all these good things are only possible because people cared enough to give.

One of the best and most convenient ways to help change a life at Teen Challenge is through monthly sponsorship. For only $35 per month you can help change a life -- forever!  And when you join as a sponsor, we'll send you the actual photo of the Teen Challenge student (guy or girl) you're sponsoring. You'll also receive regular 'progress updates' to help you keep track of how your sponsored 'student' is doing.   And you also have the opportunity to personally speak into their life by sending a card of encouragement to your sponsored student at Teen Challenge, as they work their way through the 12 month program. This includes sending a note on Easter, Christmas and pretty much any time of year you wish.

Thank you on behalf of more young people and adults coming to Teen Challenge soon.  Your monthly sponsorship will help raise up a whole new generation of young men and women who are living for God who will go on to tell the world that 'there is a positive cure for drug addiction'.
