Meth and Death

Teen Challenge is based upon the fact that man's basic need is a relationship with God, through His Son Jesus Christ. People use drugs and alcohol in
an attempt to fill the void in their lives that only Christ-centered relationships can fill. When Jesus is genuinely made the Lord and Savior of a person's life, a transformation will follow. By that we mean the person's life will radically change. Jesus Christ is not just interested in whether or not you go to church or "have said a prayer" - He wants to be Lord of all of your life. In fact, He will
deal with your attitude and the motives of your heart, from the inside out.

Therefore, Teen Challenge is not a
laid-back, glorified drop-in center. It is a type of spiritual boot camp for all men that want to be free from life-controlling habits and become alive to God. It will not be easy in fact, completing Teen Challenge will probably be the toughest, yet most rewarding accomplishment of your life.

Teen Challenge is governed by love, TOUGH love. It is not always an easy, soft love. At times this is demonstrated by staff members confronting you with things you don't want to hear. They are willing to risk temporary rejection because it is for your ultimate good. Their goal is not to pacify you or to try to make you happy, but rather to teach you how to say "no" to your sinful
nature and learn to walk with God. The Bible teaches that a happy, blessed life is a by product of a right relationship with God.

Upon entering Teen Challenge you will soon discover it is not the perfect place nor is it full of perfect, easy-to-get-along-with people. There are approximately 24 students in the program and most of them are dealing with as many problems, bad habits, and defense mechanisms as you are. However, there is no better place to develop inter-personal relationships and to grow in
patience and love, which are Godly virtues, than here.

You will be required to participate up to your ability. Students must pass monthly evaluations to remain in the program. Please don't let this scare you if you are not real confident in your learning ability. Many of our students have difficulty in the classroom: tutors are available to help.

The Bible says that we must all stand before God someday and give an account of how we lived our life. Your life, and what you are doing with it, is your responsibility. We are offering, you an opportunity for a new start in life if you really want it. Your success or failure in this effort is up to you. Your future is in your hands. God bless you.
