A LOOK AT TEEN CHALLENGE OF
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
In 1958, David Wilkerson was pastor of a small country church in Pennsylvania, when we dared to see what God would do through him if he spent at least 2 hours a day in prayer and meditation. It was not long before the Lord spoke to his spirit and compelled him to go to New York City and minister to the street kids who were involved in fighting in the streets and in crimes of every sort. At that time, Reverend Wilkerson was not aware of the fact that along with the incredible rate of crime, there was an even more menacing problem...drug abuse!
From there, Teen Challenge has grown to be the largest, non-profit endeavor of its kind in the world, geared toward people with life-controlling problems. A person's need is seen in the light of the Christian message which declares that the power of God is the answer for them. Only God has the power to change a life and make it brand new. Presently, Teen Challenge has 110 centers in the United States and Puerto Rico, and 150 others in 26 foreign countries.
Proof Success ...
Based on an independent survey conducted by the National Research Organization and funded by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Teen Challenge has a documented 86% sure success rate for drug addiction. This is based on a chemical test given five years after completing the program. The government recognizes anyone who has been free for a period of 5 years to be completely recovered.
What They Do...
Teen Challenge provides the help needed by men and women to be reestablished in society after they have rid themselves of their life-controlling problems.
How?...
Patients are involved in a loving and well disciplined environment. This includes counseling, group interaction, religious activities, academic instruction, recreation and vocational training. Community outreach programs and church attendance are required.
