God and Teen Challenge are awesome. Parents dreams can be restored for their loved ones there on that beautiful mountain. God bless and I love you and am praying hard for that outreach.
I am Kenny’s mom. He has graduated from there.

My name is Rusty and I am an Appalachian Teen Challenge Graduate. I graduated in 2004. When I came to Teen Challenge, my life was shattered due to my drug addiction. After encountering an intimate relationship with Jesus during my time at Teen Challenge, my life was drastically restored. Upon graduation, I began college to major in inner city missions. I also married my beautiful high school sweetheart. We now have a two year old boy and a three month old baby girl. We are currently sharing the love of Jesus with families at a nearby apartment complex. I will be graduating college in approximately a year, and cannot wait to enter into the next chapter of life that God has for my family. Thank you to the Teen Challenge staff and supporters for giving time and support to impact people’s lives like my own! Most of all, I thank Jesus Christ for changing the lives of sinful, hurting people like me!

Every now and then I look to this Teen Challenge website for encouragement. When I see my testimony it reminds me of how good God has been in my life and how powerfully He has used Teen Challenge in my life. I used to be hopeless, but since graduating Teen Challenge I have been filled with the confidence of Christ to do His will. Thanks to all of the staff for being obedient to God and helping many guys and girls recover from hopelessness. I am often thinking about you all and praying for you and the program.

One of your students is a family member and I want to thank you for saving his life. He is a changed man. We are looking foward to his coming home in August and begining a new life with his daughter. Again thank you God, and thank you Teen Challenge. Give him my love and prayers and let him know I’m thinking about him.

Greetings,

The testimonies are powerful and the Choir was stirred by the winds of the Spirit of God …

The June 5th presentation at the Bridgeport Conference Center was outstanding and the Lord is good and greatly to be praised.
Brother, Pastor Jim Nickels is a blessing and instrument used of the Lord to bring in the wounded and I commend you for your obedience to the Lord… Brother Mike Stewart is a blessing to this area and has a hunger for souls!

My heart was so touched, having been a protege of the Program in 1991 in Western Pa, under Terry Claussens … my life too was dramatically changed by the Program and the Lord’s power to deliver sin sick souls is still the same.

I remember back then laying hands on those brought in from the streets and out of the prisons and praying until the demons of bondage loosed their captives and what I heard was that stil today that ministry to bind the devil is working to set souls free.

God bless your serivce to the Lord and to all those in the program… let not the stench on sin nor the smell of hell depart from your nostrils and go for souls that are being led on that hell bound train!

love in Chirst, In His Grip… Pastor Marty Basil, Bridgeport, WV 26330

Just had to tell you how blessed I am tonight. The Teen Challenge Choir was at our church tonight, and it was the most mazing service I have ever been in. 27 people went to the altar, and all my family went. My son is David Mazza, and he looked so wonderful. It meant the absolute world to me to see him lift his voice and his hands to His creator God. Pastor Brad Rose brought a wonderful message, and all the men sounded so beautiful, and they were actually glowing. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!! Thank you for doing what you do, and for helping my son find the Lord. God bless you all, Becky Rogers
